Bunkle and other children’s series fiction books

Thanks to the Fidra Books reprint, I’ve just read Bunkle Scents a Clue by M Pardoe. This is the eleventh and penultimate title in a series which began in 1939 and ended in 1961. I have the first eight books in hardback but the later ones are hard to find and very expensive, so I’m pleased to be able to buy the new paperback editions. It means I can complete the series without feeling I’m wasting my money, because I don’t enjoy the later books as much as the earlier stories. ( Why this is so… )
