[Andrew999]

A stirring adventure from Frank (Hilda) ‘Billy Bunter’ Richards – reads as well today as it did almost a century ago. A mysterious girl arrives – by air – with a secret. Is she on the run, what role does the Brooklands-style racing car play and why is Clara acting so strange? If there was ever a finer writer than Frank Richards, I’d like to know of him

Meanwhile, on the activities pages, I learned how to do a lace insertion on a nightie to allow for a growing bust – I’m sure that will be useful at some point – and how to make an owl from a boiled egg. They just don’t teach you this stuff anymore.
