The Famous Five Annual on Kitten Island Again

Wonder if some canny buyer will pick up a bargain due to the spelling mistake?

I'm sure we've talked about this before,I wonder if it's the same person selling the same annual or there are two fools out there!

I like how I was a bit vague about it when I was the one who pointed it out the first time! My memory is clearly not what it used to be. At least I now know it's a different fool this time!

I too thought we'd had that thread before about 'Kitten Island'!

I wonder if the annual is advertised that way to try and get it to go viral and as a result boost the price.

     I think it's "Kirren", actually, not "Kitten". So the misspelling is not quite so bad, after all. (Yes, I know the seller thought it was "Kitten", and advertised it that way. But I think they are mistaken. Take a careful look at the cover. The font is somewhat idiosyncratic; but I really think the letters in the middle are Rs rather than Ts.)

It's obvious to me that the letters are "r's", it's just the font that makes them look like "t's".

Sad that the seller doesn't even realise their mistake, which means they have never read any of The Famous Five books, and yet they are selling one.

Not sure that you need to have read any particular book in order to flog it on, but it *does* clearly say Kirren very close to the copyright date....
