Just a quick update …
I have read The Chums of Study Ten and it was a blast. It was also a blast from the past! Imagine my delight on meeting girls called Olive, Brenda, Diana and Phyllis … the thrill of reading words like perforce, truculently, fraught and quaver. There were tuck-boxes from home containing gingerbread , toffee and plum cake (sounds stodgy but strangely appealing) and a secret message in the form of a puzzle full of tiny bricks. (Hmmmm. Did The Chums of Study Ten inspire Dan Brown to write the Da Vinci Code???) There was no wardrobe-hiding, but the chums did break into a mysterious house to solve the deep dark mystery. And at the end of all the drama, a good supper was had by all. Simply splendid, hey what?
