The Enid Blyton Society

I see information for Journal 47 is now on the main site. Really looking forward to another bumper issue with The Extraordinary Life of Eileen Soper catching the eye.

Looks mouthwatering indeed. I love the cover. Very bright and colourful for spring. Nice to see that Rob Houghton has an article in there again.

Journal 47 has left the building!

Absolutely spiffing. It will be waiting for me when I get home then on Thursday!

Yes, looking forward to it! I did see some on a recent Cave-diving experience, I held one but didn't want to spoil a really good look at it, so I resisted the urge to look too hard!

Great news, Tony!

Looking forward to it's arrival.

Just a quick query -- Tony, do you have past issues of the journal in stock, or are they all sold out every month with no chance of a reprint? I'm still not convinced of the reliability of the Indian Postal System, but I'm wondering if I coud have them delivered to an acquaintance in the UK who could perhaps bring them to India on her next visit...

I'm afraid most of the past Journals have sold out, Fatty, but some are still available as you can see in the Online Shop:

We hope to make some of the very early Journals (numbers 1 - 8 to start with, if I remember correctly) available to Society members as PDF files on the website, free of charge, but Keith is very busy so I'm not sure exactly when that will be done.

Thank you Anita. I guess I should start by selecting some that are available. Perhaps in future when there's greater demand for back issues, Tony might consider PoD. I wish I could click on the journal thumbnails to see a list of contents. I know the forum has discussion theads but I find them a little *too* detailed!

Wow very few are still available. I am hanging on to mine, I am sure that one day these wonderful magazines will be collectors items in their own right.

Your wish is my command! (Or in other words, you can do that in the "Fireside Journal" section):
