Just a guess, I haven’t checked. Is it ‘Before I Go To Sleep’?

You are in for a treat Judith, I would be interested to read what you think of them. I had the luck recently to come across another Anne Barrett short story, Portrait of Julietta. It was in a collection called A Book of Girls’ Stories published by Hamlyn in 1964.

I’ve got a copy of The Mysteries of Udolpho on my bookshelves but to my shame I’ve never read it. I had thing about 18th century novels at one time and I read The Old English Baron (1778) and Sarah Fielding’s The Governess, or the Little Female Academy (1749) which is brilliant, the first girls’ sch...

Information on Anne Barrett is hard to find but on the Furrowed Middlebrow website I found images of the dust jackets and the blurbs for Caterpillar Hall and Stolen Summer. http://furrowedmiddlebrow.blogspot.com/2020/04/new-authors-childrens-writers-1-of-2.html?m=1 Also there are reviews on Goodread...

Welcome to the forums, Wezzo. Many omnibus editions don’t appear the Cave including the Parragon/Mulberry ones. The sad thing is I believe all the titles in these 2 in 1 editions are out of print in any edition now except for The Secret Island. I’ve got the three Secrets books and they seem to have ...

Coincidentally, I’m re-reading Caterpillar Hall at the moment and I love it just as much as the first time I read it.

Actually it’s 52, Robert Houghton gave me a copy of Journal 32. Arithmetic was never my strong subject.

I’ve read all of Journal 83 and enjoyed every article, my thanks to all the contributors and to Tony for editing it. I can add very little to what’s been said above but I will say thank you to Judith Crabb for her excellent article and for bringing back memories of an extremely worn copy of the Spar...

This edition of the Journal contains articles on several of my favourite books. Six Cousins at Mistletoe Farm has long been a favourite and Anita’s review has reminded me that I must re-read it. I look forward to what she has to say about Six Cousins Again. I’ve loved The Treasure Hunters since I wa...

Pete you’re incorrigible. I love it though!

It being a Bank Holiday and there’s nothing much to do, apart from the ironing, I’ve been pondering the phrase; ‘the truest text to the original 1939 publication’. I think they must have gone back to the Newnes text rather than the Dean which had a number of small cuts. The gollies must have been re...

Like Judith I would love facsimiles of the Newnes editions with the original text and Dorothy Wheeler illustrations but the Folio Society always commission new illustrations by modern artists for their editions. I would be interested to know Tony’s opinion on this book, did he advise in any way? Doe...

I don’t know if this has been mentioned on the Forums before but the Folio Society has produced a high quality hardback edition of The Enchanted Wood. I hope they have used the original Newnes text, it mentions it is the ‘truest text to the original 1939 publication’ so it seems likely, and they hav...

The title of the poem is interesting, were there lots of newspaper reports at the time about UFOs and flying saucers to make it ‘In the Fashion’? Or maybe it was just that Dan Dare in the Eagle and other sci fi stories were popular but the nearest Enid got to a science fiction story was The Mountain...

It’s not in the Cave, Pete. It’s in the Chronology on the Author of Adventure tab.
