Time for Odway the dog to get the main billing for a change! This issue featured the first episode of the Odway strip ‘Ye Great Enigma of ye Golden Fleas’ – a perfect example of the surreal humour of Jill McDonald.
This issue featured:
Short Stories:
How the Starling Flew South – by Paul Biegel
The Romance of a plain Princess – by Ursula Moray Williams
Meet your Author – Joan Lingard, The Book that nearly wasn’t written
Beginnings by Jane Gardam
Can we save our Wildlife – by Kenneth Mellanby (Another environmental article!)
Brand Rustling – by Ken Ullyat
I actually had this issue. 🙂
Thanks so much for the lovely blog…it brings back such great memories of reading as a child and being a member of the Puffin Club. It makes me want to rummage through all my boxes of books and papers and see if I can find that Puffin Club member's booklet I once had. It's a real treat to see the old issues, pictures, and badges. Thanks for all the hard work.
Best wishes from Canada!
