Journal 46

Post by Kate Mary »

I see that Journal 46 is about to be published and includes half a dozen items by Enid including one under the pseudonym Audry Saint Lo and an article on Enid Boyten too. Lovely seasonal cover as well.

I was looking at the updates yesterday, and thought how exciting the journal sounds once more. And I love the picture on the front cover. It will be a lovely lead up to Christmas. :D

Journal 46 has a splendid cover and the list of articles looks, as per usual, utterly mouthwatering. :D

I couldn't agree more. :D Journal 46 looks just great and I shall be eagerly looking out for my copy towards the end of November.

Tony, working tirelessly as usual, took all the Journals to the post office this morning and the last thing he heard a member of staff was busy sticking stamps/sticky labels on the envelopes, ready to send them out! :D

My copy of Journal 46 has just arrived in the post. A BIG thank you, Tony. I can't wait to read it from cover to cover this evening. It looks as mouthwatering as ever. :D

In the meantime, I am going to write a cheque for two Enid Blyton Day 2012 tickets. You should get it tomorrow, Tony! :D

     I just have a question about the password used on the E.B.S. site (apart from this forum). As most will know, this password is derived by a method such as "the first word on p. so-and-so of the current Journal".
     I'm just wondering exactly when the password changes, and how you know when it changes. Given that people will receive the new Journal at different times, there might be people who have trouble accessing parts of the site until their copy arrives.

Regards, Michael.

Just tucking into a hearty bowl of home made soup and Anitas put-em-right article in our new journal-this is the life! :D :D

The password usually changes quite some time after the latest journal has been received by all. The change is notified (at least this where I see it) when you try to read the serial story, as you need to use it each time you want to read it.

Funnily enough, someone in The Put-Em-Rights gets a bowl of home-made soup thrown all over them - though I didn't mention that in the article! :lol: :wink:

The Journal is always a treat and it's wonderful to see the rough artwork by Georgina Hargreaves (middle pages) for two W.H.Smith cassettes which may not have materialised. I love her work for the Faraway Tree and Wishing-Chair deluxe books and it's great to see the same characters in a more sketchy form, not yet fully fleshed out. Lovely details and use of colour, and we can get an idea of what the finished cassette cases might have looked like from the published Faraway Tree ones pictured on the back of the Journal. It'll be interesting to see Georgina in action at the Enid Blyton Day in May!

My copy has also arrived and I can only echo others in saying that it looks, as it always does, simply marvellous. I've just read Anita's article and the editorial for now; the major portion is reserved for my lazy Sunday afternoon off. Another big thank you to Tony though for putting it together again. :D

     I guess, since I'm about as distant from England as it's possible to be while still being in this world, my copy will be one of the later ones to arrive. But are they sent by air-mail? If so, I suppose it will only be a week or so anyway.
     Wish I could get a complete set of back copies, although I suppose that would be almost impossible. I do look on eBay from time to time.
     I'm also interested in getting all the "Green Hedges" copies.
     And has anyone heard of "The Enid Blyton Book & Ephemera Collectors' Society"? I picked up a few copies of their magazine along with a couple of "Green Hedges" I managed to find. Does that Society still exist?

I've heard of The Enid Blyton Book & Ephemera Collectors' Society but it hasn't existed for some years. What was their magazine like - a substantial read or more like a newsletter?
