You mean the original illustrations coloured in with pencil crayon? yes - I think they have all been published in those versions - in paperback...although they were still the edited versions of the text as it appeared in the 1990's.Nick wrote:Does anyone know if these have ever been published in colour?
I’m sure I saw a modern version of classic Hike in colour a few years back but have not been able to find one since?

Thanks Rob, they seem to be quite hard to find on eBay.

I'm not sure, but I don't think they sold very well. I only have one - Five On Finneston farm I think - and they were okay but the colouring wasn't that brilliant in my opinion! Maybe they didn't do a big print-run. They were more expensive to buy than the black and white versions!
