Re: Blyton Character Acrostics
I am a little confused... For a start, Mr Pinkwhistle was the new name for the acrostic (not Mr Phink) and secondly, I cannot work out what 'TCoA' stands for. I know this isn't the Blyton Anagram thread, but I have sort of got it to 'The Children of...'
(I am going to look stupid if this is something really simple...)

Re: Blyton Character Acrostics
Where are the other letters Mehul? As Poppy says, your answer doesn't make sense. We need all the letters of the name to be used. And I don't recognise a 'Toni' either - except that Antoinette sometimes called herself that. (Claudine's sister at St Clare's.)

Re: Blyton Character Acrostics
I think it's Toni the acrobat in Circus of Adventure, he and Bingo rescue the children from Borken Castle, but yeah the Mr Pinkwhistle answer doesn't make sense!

Re: Blyton Character Acrostics
Ah... thanks, Cathy! The Pinkwhistle/ Phink thing is still a mystery to me, however. Right, anyway - Toni.

Re: Blyton Character Acrostics
Sorry to step in when the thread has already moved on - I was working on an acrostic for Mr Pinkwhistle too, but didn't get in quick enough! May I please share it?

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Re: Blyton Character Acrostics
It was the Circus of Adventure. Sorry. I must have overlooked the real name and made a mistake. I think it was because I simply couldn't think about anything. This game is a bit tough you know.Poppy wrote:I am a little confused...

Re: Blyton Character Acrostics
Pssst, Daisy, you left out the O in Lenoir... but it's a great acrostic anyway!
