What a lovely little book this was. I had forgotten how wholesome Blyton's books could be, with the simple morals and lessons on honesty, truthfulness, and courage.
Mr pinkwhistle is a half brownie half man and can make himself invisable if he wants to!In the story his charecter is a very nice man always putting things right around the world1 i enjoyed the book very much and i don't mind reading it over and over again!!!!!
Flocks of invisible hens and invisible geese pecking multiple people all over their body cannot be satisfactorily simulated by one person. The logistics just don’t work. And I’m also highly suspicious about finger jobs being mistaken for beaks but I’ll leave that for now.
“Taking care” of baby dolls does not qualify kids to take care of actual live babies, but more than that I find two single-digit year olds longing for babies of their own just a little creepy. I realize this book was written more than half a century ago, but I still went away from it shivering.
When you read this as a kid at a more innocent age.. there seems to be lil wrong with a (creepy) half brownie-half human man who peeps into people's houses...hanging around kids... just saying.. I miss those innocent times.. some I could read like that. And most I just couldn't..
One of Enid Blytons stories, written 70 years ago. Set in England 1940’s 50’s. A bit of old-fashioned fun. Wouldn’t be published now days.. little bit of creepiness, all in innocence of course.
Sooty does some magic of her own in this one, besides showcasing her culinary skills. Mr Pink-Whistle is, as usual, ever-willing to help those in trouble, including Sooty’s friends.
