Thank you, Anita but that's not the song I have in mind but no worries, I have found it. :D

Marvin Gaye- Ain't No Mountain High Enough. It was easy for me to search for the song because the title of the song is also No Mountain High Enough so I just googled it. :D

Hope Tony could muster his spirits to put all the uncollected stories on the wonderful website after listening to these songs given by his two most supportive supporters. Just imagine both of us sing for you, Tony. :wink: :lol:

The current Acksherley!, the Malcolm Saville Society journal has a specially designed Sunny Stories themed cover.

Here is a brief section of an article inside:

Malcolm Saville became editor of SS in 1954. It had begun life almost thirty years earlier in July 1926 entitled Sunny Stories for Little Folk. It was initially edited and almost entirely written by a twenty-nine year old Enid Blyton - although she was only credited as its editor. Owing to her increasing popularity during the 1930s it was renamed in 1937 as Enid Blyton's Sunny Stories. She resigned in February 1953 to form her own Enid Blyton's Magazine, which came out later in the year. With Saville now in charge, unlike when Blyton was editor, each issue of SS contained many short stories written by different authors and it is not clear which were written by himself...

I often look out for Sunny Stories and the Enid Blyton Magazine at book fairs but I've never seen any of the Sunny Stories edited by Saville.

Like Enid, Malcolm included one short story of his most famous series - the Lone Pine Club - in Sunny Stories.

'The Flower Show Hat' is the title of it and it's the one LP story I've never been able to get my hands on though I believe it has been published as a book in recent years.
