Re: It Happened One Afternoon - Short Story
I had that story in Every Day Stories (Purnell Sunshine Library, 1972) when I was little. A great tale with quite an involved plot and a strong message. It seems very "grown-up" with the main protagonists being fourteen and fifteen, and one of them working in an office.
If you click on the most recent appearance of the story, Pete, the previous appearance is given. Then you can keep clicking back through to find out if they're all the same story.

If I ever get around to cataloguing all my Blyton's and discover I have all the books you've listed, I'll read the stories and let you know.

Well I do know the story of that title in The Bom Annual isn't the same, as that one is about Bom. I think most of the others are the same story though.

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'
