I'd wondered what was coming next - although I'd had a whisper that it was something by Daisy! :-D

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

Yesterday I went to a meeting of the book group I belong to and one of the ladies there said she had read Five Delve Into the Past and enjoyed it. It would have been nice if she had left a comment under the piece about it on the Enid Blyton Society facebook page but people seldom seem to think of it! Good to know others are seeing it though. :) I was hoping it may draw others to joining the Society but maybe that is asking too much!

I know I'm way behind everyone else but I've just finished Five delve into the past, it was a good read and interesting to learn some Kirrin family history, although a family tree would have been useful. I must re-read Anne Kirrin's Journal.

I'm pleased you found it interesting Kate Mary. Yes, a family tree might help - we made one when we were writing the story and had to refer to it from time to time! Not sure how to present one in an understandable format though.

Yes, a family tree would be great. Maybe scan it or take a photo of it?

Bit of an old thread, but I did just that the other day. Created a Kirrin family tree based on 'Five Delve Into the Past'.
