I'm going to guess...

"Why, it's a rabbit!" cried Tom, astonished. "Where's Mr. Woffles?"

(I don't know which story this is from — at least, it doesn't sound like The Adventurous Four, which is the only one I can think of that has a Tom in it :wink: — but "Woffles" is the kind of name Enid would use for a rabbit.)

You're correct, Courtenay. It comes from the story, "Little Mr. Woffles". Enid also wrote another story called "Where are you, Woffles?" about a rabbit who belonged to a boy named Terrence. Not the same rabbit, though.

Can you explain to me why Enid chose that name for a rabbit? It just down sound apt to me. You can see why Beatrix Potter chose Cottontail. But Woffles :?:

Well, in one of the Noddy stories — and I think it's my old favourite Well Done Noddy! — Noddy is writing songs for some of the other toys in Toyland, and this is what he writes for the toy rabbit:

"Woffly nose
And hoppity feet,
Little Miss Bunny
Is perfectly sweet."

So I assume "Woffles" is Enid's way of referring to a rabbit's fluffy, twitchy nose! :lol:

Anyway, if I don't come up with a new one tonight, I will tomorrow! :wink: Thanks, Dave.

(If that longer line looks a bit funny, it's a dash for a pause in the sentence. This is a direct quote from a Blyton character.)
