A prize for the most updated of Enid Blyton’s text

The Mystery of the Burnt Cottage: How has Blyton’s original text fared in a modern edition? part 4
I’m determined to keep coming back to this every third week or so, purely so that it doesn’t take me a whole year to get through it! The other parts are here, here and here. As always my own copy is a Methuen from … Continue reading
