The Enid Blyton Society

Just noticed that Journal 41, which should be with us in a few weeks, has been added to the Journal Catalogue. The 'Treasure Hunters' cover is lovely and I like the sound of 'It Began with Saucy Jane' by Fred Clampitt - an intriguing title. It's also great to see Robert Houghton back again!

It looks great, Anita. I'm really looking forward to receiving my copy.

Yes, I too love the cover of the Treasure Hunters, and like you Anita, I think the title of 'It Began with Saucy Jane' is very intriguing. Another good read to look forward to.

It sounds like the start of an Ern pome that Fatty could finish (although not as depressing as most of his starts):

It began with Saucy Jane
Whilst walking up a dark lane
The night was dark
'Twas only a lark


Fatty?

For me 'it all began with Amelia Jane'
I loved her, because she was such a pain!
Journal 41 looks good enough to eat,
As always, a tasty and mouth-watering treat!!

Thanks for this thread - it reminded me to resubscribe!

How about:

It began with Saucy Jane
Whilst walking up a dark lane
The night was dark
'Twas only a lark...
We're calling the baby Wayne!

Not very Fatty-ish, I know!

It has a charm all of its own though.

Journal 41 looks great and I cant wait to receive it. It'll be just the thing to cheer up a few of these freezing winter evenings.

What a beautiful cover! I'll be looking forward to the Journal; meanwhile I'll have to make do with No. 40!

If only my mams name was Jane.

Journal 41 looks beautiful! I'm looking forward to reading it!

sounds exciting Anita, i have not yet looked at the journal cover because i did last time and i thought now i know what it looks like, i wish i had not looked at it so it would be a surprise (it still looked lovely of course)but now i fell tempted to go and look at it!
it sounds really nice, will be looking forward to be getting it!

I too like to get my first look of the cover when I take it out of the envelope, Leila! It would also spoil my enjoyment of the Journal to read its contents before receiving it as well. This leads me to another gripe, don't you simply hate all of those "Coming up" spoilers on every television programme you watch now?

I see what you mean about liking the Journal to be a surprise (hope I haven't spoilt things too much by starting this thread!), though sometimes it's nice to have just enough revealed in advance to whet one's appetite.
