As for the new one... is it The Children of Cherry-Tree Farm?

I was sure you'd get the Galliano quote!

No - sorry the new quote isn't from Cherry Tree Farm!

Lol! Correct - The Adventurous Four Again!

Over to you Pete!

The Force is strong with this one...

Well done, Pete.

Cheers.

Here's the next. Again it is the very first line in the book:

TWO children and a dog raced down to the village
sweet-shop in excitement.

Courtenay · Post by **Courtenay** » 04 Apr 2019, 09:42

I have a feeling that's the opening line of The Children of Kidillin, Pete.

Yes - correct.
Using the first lines keeps this game really moving along.

Thanks, Pete. I'm away from home at the moment, though, so won't be able to post a new quote until at least tomorrow (as I don't want to do it without having the book as a definite reference).

Hiya Courtenay, gentle reminder for the next post.

Courtenay · Post by **Courtenay** » 08 Apr 2019, 08:16

Thanks, Shanku, although the usual rule is to leave it a week before reminding the person whose turn it is next — it's only been four days!! I'm back at home now but have been fairly busy at work. I'll pick a new one today.

is it?!

I missed that rule!

Not so much a rule as an advisory comment to give the setter of a question a week to respond to a reply. At least that's how I first interpreted it.

Here's where I was getting it from: https://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/for ... =19&t=4564" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Anyway, how about this (not a first line this time!)...

So the girls were made to take their turn at the oars, and the boys lazed as they went along past the thickly-wooded banks.

That line is from chapter eight of one of Julie's faves: The Boy Next Door.

Spot on, Pete.

Over to you.
