Mr. Pink-Whistle Interferes

Product Information

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.

Who? Why do you like his/her work so much? I must admit that I've not got a wide range of experience when it comes to Mr Pink-Whistle illustrators. I do enjoy the Rene Cloke illustrations in my editions very much indeed, so my default they are my favourites. Browsing through the covers in the Cave of Books, it doesn't surprise me then that the set of covers I like most were also illustrated by Cloke, those created for the 1969/1970/1971 of the Dean editions of the books. I really do not like at all the more recent covers for the books. They look garish and badly drawn. Youngs, Ian (22 February 2011). " 'Lost' Enid Blyton book unearthed". BBC Online .

Have you got a favourite Mr Pink-Whistle illustrator, in regard to both cover and internal illustrations? Who? Why do you like his/her work so much? Subjective (4 stars) v. Objective (2.5 stars) Rating: Look, sometimes I just want to read short stories about an invisible man who makes it his business to spy on people and help out the ones he feels are being discriminated against, okay. It scratches an itch very satisfyingly. Just thought I'd mention that, as well as the three books listed in the poll, there's a fourth volume of Pink-Whistle stories called Mr. Pink-Whistle's Big Book, first published in 1958. Dean didn't do a printing of that book and therefore it's not as well-known as the others. Mr Tumpy's Caravan (discovered in a collection of her papers, in 2011; not the 1949 publication of similar title) [54] 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!

Would you like to see Mr Pink-Whistle make a jump to other media - television, film, animated shorts, comic strips, toys and so on? If so, what would you like to see? I must admit, I would love to see a series of animated shorts based on the stories or maybe an animated television series that includes two stories per episode. That would be fun to watch if it was done well. The Teddy Bear's Party, illustrator Eileen Soper, Little Book 5, 1989 reprint as The Night The Toys Had A Party, illustrator Susan Pearson Are you a fan of the Mr Pink-Whistle stories? Why or why not? Do you like some stories more than others? Which is your favourite and/or least favourite Mr Pink Whistle story? I really am a fan of the Mr Pink-Whistle stories. The Adventures of Mr Pink-Whistle was one of the first books I read and some of the stories in that anthology are incredibly memorable and I remember them to this day. I also love the fact that its an interaction between the fairy world and our human world and I enjoy the humour that sometimes creates in the stories too. 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. Red Riding Hood Goes to the Teddy Bears' Picnic by Bey Royle. Bognor Regis & London, John Crowther, 1943.

While the idea of trying to set things right is a noble cause (such as buying a new doll for a girl who had hers broken, or buying some good clothes for a poor family) seeking vengeance against bad people is probably not something that we should be encouraging children to do. While it is true that we should look after our pets by making sure they are fed and given clean places to live, I don't think stealing the bad owner's food, or messing up their bedrooms a good thing. Okay, in the story Mr Pink Whistle did teach these children a lesson, which they learnt, but that is not always the case. For instance there is the story about Wilfred. It is clear that he is a self-centred bully that lives by instilling fear among those around him. What Mr Pink Whistle can get away with, we can't, and while the best way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them and not let them scare us, we do have to be intelligent about the way we go about it.
