A lot of readers found our November competition quite a challenge, but two who didn't were our joint winners: KS of the Highlands and, coincidently, BS of the Valleys who will each receive their share of the prize before too long, weather permitting. Here are their entries:
All modern girls will love 'Georgie Merton or Only a Girl' by Florence Harrington. Stout hearted and active, Georgie has all the qualities her weak younger brother so badly lacks. When her natural instincts to protect him lead to a long and confining illness, Georgie's patient and uncomplaining acceptance of her fate wins the hearts of all who know her. Georgie Merton shows that modern girls can live active and useful lives without compromising their essential femininity.
'Island of Secrets' by C Bernard Rutley was a Sunday School prize. Dawn finds a tramp lying in the road and helps him to hospital where he dies, bequeathing her a treasure map. X marks the spot on a Pacific island. 'Dawn couldn't miss a chance of adventure like this.'
Well done to you both, thanks for entering and good luck for December's challenge, which will be issued soon.
