Fourth Holiday Book, illustrator Mary K. Lee and Eelco M. T. H. Van der Beek, cover Hilda Boswell [29]

This is a collection of stories about a half-brownie named Mr Pinkwhistle. One day Mr Pinkwhistle realises that bad things seem to happen to good people so he decides that he will use is abilities to actually try to set things right for these people because it hurts him to see all of these bad things happen. This is a very noble cause, and not only that, I also notice that it is not just a nice person helping people out, but rather a person who has abilities using these abilities to actually help people. The thing is that Mr Pink Whistle knows what it is like to be different (we are told that because he is a half-brownie he doesn't fit in with the brownies or the humans), but instead of wallowing in his misery, he uses his uniqueness to do good for people. 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? Of those that I read, my absolute favourites were the two stories about Wilfrid in The Adventures of Mr Pink-Whistle. That story is one that I remembered as soon as I read the first word. It's delightful; the punishment with the tell-tale signs is cleverly worked out; we see Wilfrid change his behaviour; and the final tell-tale sign is a lovely way to end the story. I was also very moved by "The Two Ugly Creatures" - what a beautiful tale of the transformative power of joy. Mt least favourite of the stories I read was "Mr Pink-Whistle and the Money Box". I've summed up the reasons for this above. Mr. Pink-Whistle is rather a lonely individual because the brownies are wary of his half-human status, and people like us are a little reluctant to place him on our Xmas card list seeing he has somewhat alien attributes, namely pointed ears and green eyes. His urge to help people stands him in good stead though and it gives him an excuse to mingle and enjoy temporary friendships, especially with children because they're generally more accepting than adults.

Have you read this book…

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. More Bible Stories, retold by Jane Carruth. London, Award, 1987; revised as More Bible Stories for Children, London, Award, 1995. 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?

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! There's a band of children who do what Mr. Pink-Whistle does. They call themselves The Put-Em-Rights and EB has produced a book that tells us all about them.
