About this deal

Jinky the dog keeps losing his collar through no fault of his own, yet he has to endure being punished for it. A nasty boy is the culprit - he puts a bone on the footpath and when Jinky runs up to gnaw at it, the boy grabs him, yanks off his collar, and disappears. Unfortunately Jinky can speak only doggy language so he can't let on about it to his mistress but Mr. Pink-Whistle who happens to pass by can understand and he interprets "Ooooo, Ooooo, Yelp, Yelp" as "Oh, how sad I am. Oh, how unfair everything is!" Unfair! Well that's certainly within Mr. Pink-Whistle's province so the little man gets to work.

More Bible Stories, retold by Jane Carruth. London, Award, 1987; revised as More Bible Stories for Children, London, Award, 1995. I was entranced by the tales and devoured them eagerly. A bright, cosy world opened up before me - one in which characters sometimes experienced disappointment, sadness or cruelty but in which, ultimately, justice was done, jollity and goodness prevailed and there were copious supplies of buns for tea. Enid Blyton's Gift Book of Bedtime Stories (some illus. from Enid Blyton's Everyday Book series). London, Dean, 1978.In 2013–2014 Cloke's work was included in the exhibition "Grimm Girls: Picturing the Princess" at The Otter Gallery at the University of Chichester.

Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's. One aspect of posting messages that I've never seen written up anywhere (Keith, where art thou?) is the lingering impact of some posts (by some people, anyway) over time..... The blurb that has Mr. Pink-Whistle going about the world may not necessarily be true. I think he confines himself more to the highways and byways of England but we can suppose, in the unlikely event that injustices became a little scarce in the Motherland, he could zoom off to some other country. For further information about Mr. Pink-Whistle there are some excellent articles in the Enid Blyton Society Journal that were available to the privileged fans who were subscribing when they appeared. The Spring 2006, and Spring/Summer 2009 editions might still be available if one cares to mount a search. urn:lcp:mrpinkwhistleint0000blyt:epub:ff5c9947-b77c-403d-893e-7be149b515b6 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier mrpinkwhistleint0000blyt Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t5bd3357d Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781841356594The Children's Hour. Stories, jigsaws & painting, illus. with others. London, Daily *Express Publications, 1935. A bad-tempered, blind man whom the children call nasty names is the subject of another quite touching tale that has, as always when Pink-Whistle's around, a happy ending.

Do you think Mr Pink-Whistle has a place in today's world? Yes, I do. I think the stories are as effective today as they would have been when they were first written. Young children still need to know about the responsibilities of looking after their pets and about how to treat one another well. That lessons like these are taught through such entertaining stories can help to instill values and ideas like these in a way that is far more effective than an adult saying, "Be polite to your classmates." All that aside, the stories themselves are so vividly told. They are a treat to read whether you're young or young at heart. Bible Story Picture Books: Jesus Our Friend, ed. Bertha C. Krall. Wallington, Carwal Publications, 1943.

Youngs, Ian (22 February 2011). " 'Lost' Enid Blyton book unearthed". BBC Online . Retrieved 22 February 2011. The Little Match Girl and other stories. London, Award, 1985; as Storyland Classics, London, Award, 1998. At that age I had no idea who Enid Blyton was. Indeed, I had little notion of the concept of an "author" - books simply were. Yet as I read the stories I had a feeling of someone "narrating" them in my head and I somehow imagined the "narrator" looking as Mr. Pink-Whistle did on the cover, plump and cheery with rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes. That's how I continued to picture Enid Blyton in my mind's eye for a while, even after someone had told me a little about her, including the fact that she was female! The Pink-Whistle stories have a special place in my heart, partly because Mr. Pink-Whistle's Party was the very first Enid Blyton book I read - in fact, I think it may have been my first ever "chapter book". It was the summer of 1974 and I was four and a half, and relatives who came to stay bought me the book as a present.
