Some brilliant answers! Love The Purple People Eater, Anita.
I think it is The Purple Pig, Nigel.

I'll kick myself if it's pig - I almost put that.

The Purple Pig it is, Eddie. Well done!
It did occur to me that as none of us have ever heard of Pantomime Wolf, we (or anybody else, for that matter) would never find it in the Cave. I love reading these stories, are there any more in the Cave - if so, how do we find them?

Re: Can You Complete The Enid Blyton Story Title?
We once discussed 'Pantomime Wolf' briefly, but it was back in 2010:

You don't honestly expect me to remember what I read in 2010, do you?

Re: Can You Complete The Enid Blyton Story Title?
I've just read Pantomime Wolf now, in the Cave, after reading back through this thread, and it is a lovely little story! I had never heard of it before now, though, so I would never have guessed the title.

Re: Can You Complete The Enid Blyton Story Title?
You make a good point here, Nigel, as there are a number of uncollected stories in the Cave, and no real way of finding where they are. There are actually 205 uncollected stories in Teachers World and I am only missing seven of these so 198 are already in the Cave and all have been out of print for over 75 years. I do have a list of these, but if I put it in the forums it would go on for several pages! Perhaps it needs its own thread!Moonraker wrote:It did occur to me that as none of us have ever heard of Pantomime Wolf, we (or anybody else, for that matter) would never find it in the Cave.

There are a number of stories like Pantomime Wolf that were specially written as contributions to books, none of which have appeared again. This one is in an obscure little book which is difficult to find a copy of and it also has a Richmal Crompton 'William' story in it. I have one or two of these stories in the Cave, but perhaps we need more in there, such as this one.

Here is another one for you that is there.

Re: Can You Complete The Enid Blyton Story Title?
Regarding Teachers World, there's a list of story titles here but it might not be up to date:

Re: Can You Complete The Enid Blyton Story Title?
Tony, perhaps there could be a sub-category somewhere in the Cave for Uncollected Short Stories - so that they'll all come up together in the same place? I'm not sure how the Cave's categorising system works, so I don't know if that would be feasible, but just a thought.
