I wonder what Enid's connection with this title was.She wrote the forward to an edition here..(scroll down to enlarge and read Enid comments..

But looking at the contents the stories seem to be written by other authors..

She writes a forward for Tuck's Annual too..1949 / 1950

Interesting, Pete. Looks as though an endorsement by Enid Blyton carried weight in those days!
