Colin Is A Good Policeman.
This story written in 1939 had a few glues/clues that reminded me of The Find-Outers.

Re: Colin Is A Good Policeman
I agree, Pete.
I recently read that short story in the Happy Adventure Tales and it was probably my favourite as, like you say, it reads like a shorter, younger version of a Find-Outers mystery.
It's nice to find some 'bonus' stories like that.

Re: Colin Is A Good Policeman
A great little story. I like Enid Blyton's mini mysteries/adventures, which are carefully crafted and have pace, colour and intrigue.

A nice little read.
And yes a bit of a mini 'Invisible Thief'.

A nice story brought to life by a brilliant illustrator.

Re: Colin Is A Good Policeman
I remember this story - the title and the broad outline anyway - and have mentioned it previously on the forum. Nice to read it again after all these years (probably about 45!)
