Have you read this book…

The Pink-Whistle stories have a special place in my heart, partly because Mr. Pink-Whistle's Party was the very first Enid Blyton book I read - in fact, I think it may have been my first ever "chapter book". It was the summer of 1974 and I was four and a half, and relatives who came to stay bought me the book as a present. This book is a book written for babies, and me reading it as a grown-ass adult is going to result in some amount of eye-rolling, which is not really its fault because it's written for very young children. The blurb that has Mr. Pink-Whistle going about the world may not necessarily be true. I think he confines himself more to the highways and byways of England but we can suppose, in the unlikely event that injustices became a little scarce in the Motherland, he could zoom off to some other country.

Enid Blyton's style is so utterly readable and the tales largely timeless, so why meddle with them?

Mr Tumpy's Caravan (discovered in a collection of her papers, in 2011; not the 1949 publication of similar title) [54] Youngs, Ian (22 February 2011). " 'Lost' Enid Blyton book unearthed". BBC Online . Retrieved 22 February 2011.Mr. Pink-Whistle is rather a lonely individual because the brownies are wary of his half-human status, and people like us are a little reluctant to place him on our Xmas card list seeing he has somewhat alien attributes, namely pointed ears and green eyes. His urge to help people stands him in good stead though and it gives him an excuse to mingle and enjoy temporary friendships, especially with children because they're generally more accepting than adults.

In Chapter #8, Winnie and Morris are shown as negligent towards their rabbits and a lesson is applied to teach the children that pets are completely dependent on their owners for survival. Auntie Jane is very angry when Mr. Pink-Whistle starts righting this wrong because strange things begin happening and as the real instigator is unseen, she directs the blame towards Winnie and Morris. The Green Goblin Book, republished in abridged form in 1951 as Feefo, Tuppeny and Jinks after the characters in the book [3] One of the stories I like least is 'Mr. Pink-Whistle Laughs' as the ending is weak, with a bully being scared to climb down a tree because there's a dog at the bottom. It's only a toy dog left there accidentally by another child, but he believes it to be real. I wasn't convinced by that even as a youngster! Would you like to see Mr Pink-Whistle make a jump to other media - television, film, animated shorts, comic strips, toys and so on? If so, what would you like to see? I must admit, I would love to see a series of animated shorts based on the stories or maybe an animated television series that includes two stories per episode. That would be fun to watch if it was done well.
