i was browsing on the internet trying to get some ideas for Christmas presents when I found this:

I don't recall it being mentioned on the forums, but Anita will put me right if it has. I don't know if it is a one-off or a regular publication, it comes from the publishers of The Beano, has anyone seen it?

Ooh no I've never seen that. I will have to get a copy though.

Looks like "This is" will have a different topic every month.

It looks good - introducing children to Blyton can't be bad, but I must say I smiled at the "Learn how to draw Timmy" invitation... not sure I want a Timmy who looks like that.

What on Earth is a 'Flip 'N' Twist' magazine? £4.99 seems rather expensive for a kids' comic/magazine though. I will look out for it in a newsagent's when next in the city. I wonder if it's a periodical or just a one-off.

I bought a copy of the ‘This is Enid Blyton’ magazine in W.H. Smith’s In Burgess Hill for £3.99 this afternoon.

As well as the magazine, the package includes ‘The Secret Seven Brains Games’ magazine, The Secret Seven paperback (worth £6.99), four Famous Five pencils and a pack of Famous Five story stickers. All for £3.99.

Thanks for letting us know, Kate.

I wasn't aware that a magazine was coming out.

I discovered the information yesterday on the D.C. Thomson website when I was looking for Dandy and Beano items. I must admit that I was surprised to see the package detailed above in W.H. Smith’s today. Although the cover price is £4.99, I was charged just £3.99 at the check-out. Excellent value. The WHS branch in Burgess Hill actually had six copies on their shelf.

Oh my goodness! I was sitting in a crowded supermarket restaurant with my best friend and her children last week. While we were waiting for our meals, she went off to buy them each a magazine to pass the time - and also bought this for me! I didn't think I'd seriously read it all the way through, but found myself looking at The Secret Seven Brain Games. I've always found wordsearches and mazes to be very therapeutic, whatever age group they're for!

Also, I didn't realise Julian now looks like me as a child!

I had a look at it in Smith's yesterday. It was cello-wrapped, but as my grandchildren have a complete set of SS books, I didn't buy it.

I hadn't heard of one...but doing a Google search, I did discover that one was published in December 2018 - not that I heard anything about it at the time, and it seems like a one-off!
