I'd write a letter and send it by a carrier pigeon, or a courier?

1)An adventurer with a carrier pigeon going to the wrong place, with some top secret information?
2) your cat gets stuck up the tree, and when rescued brings down in her mouth a gold coin from the by gone era?

I'll take the discovery of a gold coin in a tree. Sounds like the start of a mystery to me!

You have been invited to stay at two places during the same week and can only choose one. Which would you choose:
- Tinker's lighthouse with the Famous Five (and Tinker)?
or
- Rat -A- Tat House with Barney and co?

Tinker's lighthouse because I love lighthouses.

Would you rather discover:

a) the lost manuscript of Enid Blyton's adult novel, The Caravan Goes On?

or

b) the manuscript of a previously unknown Find-Outers book?

What a difficult - and rather clever - choice to offer, Anita. :idea:

Well done. I keep on wanting to choose the lost manuscript of The Caravan Goes On, but can't quite bring myself to choose. Hmm. :?
This is a Green Knight Book which means that it is a book by one of the most popular authors of all.

I seem to have put you in a quandary, Viking Star! :wink:

But surely someone can choose!

Very well! It has to be the Find-Outers book; I don't think an adult book would be that great.

Visit Peterswood in the 40s (via time travel) or see what Castaway looks like now, in 2007.

This is difficult! I think I'll go for Castaway, though, it really did sound great, while Peterswood is just a village.

A day in Toyland in Noddy's car, or an hour up Prince Paul's plane?

Oh, definitely a day in Toyland with Noddy. I would be very sad though, as all the golliwogs have been evicted. I would try to start a petition to re-instate them.


If you could send a character on a long walk off a short pier, would it be Edgar Stick or Junior Henning?

Junior Henning -- he's worse than Edgar!

Travelling on the Wishing Chair by yourself or on the train of Toyland with Jack and co., Fatty co., Peter and co., etc?

I'll take the train to toyland with Peter and co.

A stay in a haunted castle, with St Clair's girls?
or a boat outing with your best friend?

A night with a load of giggling schoolgirls or being sea-sick? No thanks - I'll skip this one! :wink:

Hey that's not fair, you gotta choose something! That's what you get for answering something you didn't want.

I'll choose the haunted castle because it sounds fun!

Which holiday home would you like to have - a lighthouse or a fairytale cottage in the woods?

A lighthouse. (not the Antonia Forest version though :lol: ). Fairytale cottage would also be good. Enid Blyton properties must be an estate agent's dream!

Which dog would you rather own - Timmy, or Buster?
