I'd no idea there was a film! Must look it up.

I loved that book too! And have definitely read at least one of the others - I seem to recall her going to London for Queen Victoria's ?Diamond Jubilee.

I'm pretty sure that's in Susannah at Boarding School. ISTR the school was near Windsor and the girls lined up to watch the Queen go by. I liked that book a lot but had to read it and then pass it on.

These were real favourites of mine too especially as I went to Regina as a three and seven year old!

[callmemadam]

Whoo! Just shows how much general knowledge you can get from reading, that I had even heard of Regina when I was so young.

My husband works for Penguin and he says they have copies of all the first editions of both Penguin and Puffin where he works, locked up of course! I remember being in the Puffin Club when I was a child and getting the magazine and a badge etc. I can't remember having heard of this one before... must investigate.

What a wonderful archive that must be!
I'm too old to have been in the Puffin Club :-(

I picked up hardbacks of this, Boarding School and Yukon in Oxfam for about £3 each a few years ago, I must get round to reading them!

I do remember comparing the Puffin with the hb and finding that there were bits missing from the pb - I seem to remember a telegram being involved.

[callmemadam]

Well done you, what a find!
Hmm, sorry to think I haven't been reading the whole book.

I've just checked, the text of the telegram is missing from page 10. I've not checked any further, but the rest of the text on the first couple of pages seems to be the same.

Thank you, that's lovely!
