Some links
Jan. 19th, 2005 09:09 amA link from
new_atalanta to a wonderful site about the life and works of Noel Streatfeild. It covers her children's and adult books. I'm going to have to pull Apple Bough off the shelf now and reread.
And I found this article about girls' comics at the BBC cult website last week. Make sure you read the bits about the Bunty strip 'The Boyfriend from Blupo', which is just hilarious.

I never ever got into the teen magazines with their photo-stories and obsession with getting a boyfriend. I still wanted to read about girls having adventures of one sort or another, and boys were a very poor substitute instead.
Thanks again for both the links.
