The Naughtiest Girl continued: The Naughtiest Girl Marches on
Finally here we are at the last Anne Digby Naughtiest Girl book, the last Naughtiest Girl book altogether. She has marched on through six continuation books which was six books too many, if you ask me, so I really hope … Continue reading
The Naughtiest Girl continued: The Naughtiest Girl Wants to Win
I am finally subjecting myself to the penultimate Naughtiest Girl continuation book. I know it will be bad but the question is, how bad? The blurb I’m already rolling my eyes just reading the blurb. Elizabeth is furious when a … Continue reading

Monday #434
We have just had a week of glorious weather in Scotland – possibly our one and only week like that! It’s forecast to be over 20 degrees today as well, but with rain later and rain through the rest of … Continue reading
The Naughtiest Girl continued: The Naughtiest Girl Saves the Day
My library has partially reopened now, so I thought I should probably get around to reading some of the dozen books I still have out! I haven’t thought much of these Anne Digby continuations hence my lack of enthusiasm over … Continue reading

Malory Towers went on the iPlayer very early in the lock down, so early April and here I am just getting to episodes nine and ten (of thirteen). I know a lot of people binged it but I watch two … Continue reading
The Naughtiest Girl continued: The Naughtiest Girl Helps a Friend
A few weeks ago I reviewed the first Naughtiest Girl continuation book by Anne Digby. I didn’t think it was very good, but seeing as I borrowed all six and I can’t return them due to coronavirus self-isolation, I thought … Continue reading
The Naughtiest Girl continued: The Naughtiest Girl Keeps a Secret
As I covered in my post on Blyton’s prequels, sequels and continuations, there are six additional Naughtiest Girl books written by Anne Digby. I’ve borrowed all of them (in two different editions) from my library and now it’s time to … Continue reading

I recently wrote a guide to continuations of Blyton’s series, whether they be prequels, sequels or gap-fillers. While looking for all the possible things to feature I ruled out several books by other authors as they didn’t “continue” a story … Continue reading
The Naughtiest Girl in the School: How has Blyton’s original text fared in a modern edition? Part 6

Part one looked at chapters 1-4, part 2 chapters 5-8 here, part 3 chapters 9-12 and part 4 was chapters 13-16. I am comparing the 1944 5th reprint by George Newnes (which should be more or less identical to the … Continue reading
Blyton by others: A guide to prequels, sequels and continuations

The Naughtiest Girl in the School: How has Blyton’s original text fared in a modern edition?
It has been more than two years since I’ve done a text comparison (I blame Brodie!) but I was in a branch library the other week and spotted a recent paperback of The Naughtiest Girl in the School. I thought … Continue reading
