Just read and digest
this page. What a legend you are, Tony. In just over five weeks you have done so much. Words fail me.

I think the appropriate words might be - 'Get a Life!'

I suppose you want to get a life once you've finished it and hurry therefore - when do you think you will have managed it?

A life of Blyton has got to be good.
Tony's hard work has made this website one of the best literary sites on the net.

Hey,
where would we be without you, Tony!
Only wish I had a big enough Blyton collection to be able to contribute the occasional review,
*not mentioning scans*, but alas......

Even small additions to a website take quite a bit of time. I suspect that a lot of midnight oil has been burnt.

I had no idea that so much was added to the site in such a short span of time till I discovered the updates page.
Three cheers for Tony.

Still plenty more to do, Wolfgang, the task could be endless! One of the things that I would like to add is the German first editions to the Famous Five Series as I think they are attractive covers. I have one or two poor scans mostly taken from German ebay, but I need some good scans from someone. For an example I am showing
Five Go Off in a Caravan.
Perhaps you know a German collector who can help?

Hi Tony,
I'm sorry I don't know any collectors, but maybe the creators of the German Famous Five website can help you out. I just checked their homepage, they collect and show all kinds of covers and I saw the old covers of the first two books I checked out.
Best wishes,
Wolfgang

I wonder who wrote this
Wikipedia article? Word for word has been copied from this website - is that even allowed?

I would imagine that it can only be good publicity, so wouldn't think we would wish to sue! I would say it was someone we know, but can assure you it wasn't me!
