I was fortunate enough to see the proofs of this book, and how excited I am! Believe be, this will be a real treat, and I will be hot-footing it down to Smith's in August!

Isn't it? All the better for being adventurous enough to show a non-Kirrin location.

Re: Famous Five Annual
Then your original question should have been "where will they be sold". Which I should think would be Amazon, WH Smiths, Waterstones etc

Re: Famous Five Annual
Brilliant news, Tony. I'm looking forward to getting a copy as soon as it is published. It can be pre-ordered from Amazon for £7.19 (cover price is £7.99).
