Hello everyone.
Today I was chatting to my Mum...she is 80....and she was rmembering a book she read as a child.She said it was by Enid Blyton and the story she remembered was called 'The Boo Boos'and the Milk Horse'.
I dont know if this was a story or a whole book but if anyone knows about this I would be grateful for any info so that I can track it down for her to read again.
Thank you
Mollyxx

Re: Searching for a story
A search in our cave of books for those titles gets no hits, so unfortunately I can't help you, but I'm sure our resident genius Anita will be along soon with an answer for you.

Wow.Thank you for the quick response Fiona.I do wonder if my Mum has got this right about it being an Enid Blyton story.

Re: Searching for a story
I don't know of a story with that title, Mollypolly, but a quick Google search reveals that Mabel Lucie Attwell wrote a series of "Boo-Boos" books. Six are listed in the first link below (click and scroll down), but I'm afraid none of them are about a milk-horse. But perhaps the same author contributed other Boo-Boos stories to annuals or short story compilations?

Re: Searching for a story
Hi, Thank you for that information.I will have to quiz mum again but I think maybe she just got the authors mixed up.
The Boo Boo books seem to be about the right time.
Thanks for your help.

Completely unrelated but I happen to be looking after two gerbils at the moment, and their names are molly and polly!
