:?

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...' :lol:

(I am going to look stupid if this is something really simple...)

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.)

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!

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

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)

It was the Circus of Adventure. Sorry. I must have overlooked the real name and made a mistake. :oops: :oops: I think it was because I simply couldn't think about anything. This game is a bit tough you know.
