The Boy Who Dropped His H's

I am looking for a copy of the story "The Boy Who Dropped His H's". It was in "Sunny Stories for Little Folks" No.207: February 1935. It contained "Poor Old Scarecrow!" from Eight o'Clock Tales, "The Boy Who Dropped His H’s" from Six o'Clock Tales, "The Golliwog's Trick" from The Red Story Book and "The Cackling Goose" from The Red Story Book.

It was also in "Six o'Clock Tales" in 1942 (Publisher: Methuen, Illustrator: Dorothy M. Wheeler) but the reprints (or at least the 2008 version) don't seem to include it.

There was also a story in Teacher's World (Volume L. Issue 1591. Evans Brothers. November 22, 1933) called "Harry Higgle drops his H's", but I'm not sure if that's the same story.

It might be in a compendium such as "The Enid Blyton Collection" or a version of "The O'Clock Tales Collection".

If anybody knows where I can get a copy of either of these stories, or will even just photocopy it for me, any information would be much appreciated!

Six O'Clock Tales will probably be cheaper to buy than the Sunny Stories issue; I can't seem to find it on eBay anyway, but here's a link for the book version.
