Does anyone remember a book character called Thursday?

[amaryl]

Not Endeavour!
Everytime I hear his name I get this vague memory of a character called Thursday from a children’s book. Nothing else, no other memory/clue but it feels like a favourite character. A girl.
I read loads of Enid Blyton, so could be that type of book. 70’s.
Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Thursday's child ? Far to go?
Noel Streatfield?

I remember a book called Thursday's child, may have been Noel Streatfield . Possibly the one you're thinking of?

Thursday Next?

Oh hang on that’s much later than 70s.

The heroine of Thursdays child is called Margaret Thursday.

Thursday Next in Jasper Fforde?

Emil and the Detectives?

Not a character but might you be thinking of 'See You Thursday' and 'After Thursday' by Jean Ure? They were about a girl called Marianne who began a relationship with a blind musician called Abe - the 'Thursday' referred to a Thursday singing group they belonged to.

Thursdays Child and Far to go
By Noel streatfield

They're about an orphan called Margaret Thursday who was found on a Thursday.
She is sent to an orphanage and runs away.

Loved Noel Streatfield

Yes, that's definitely rung a bell. I can see pictures in my very hazy recall too.

Also read a lot of Enid Blyton

Thursday Next? Jasper Fforde

I listened to Ballet shoes on audio books last week!

I listened to Ballet Shoes on audiobook last week!

There is a book on DS’s bookshelf called Sir Thursday, we haven’t read it yet.

Streatfeild, people!

Nothing to add as others have already suggested Thursday's Child.

I remember reading a book with a child called either Yolande or Yolanda. Never come across the name ever again and often wish I could recall what the book was. Again, it might have been Enid Blyton - I think there were three or four children and I think they were in a garden at some point, but that's all I have to go on!

There's a Yolanda in the Haffertee Hamster books

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie - I used to have a book called Pony from Fire by Sheila Chapman about a girl called Yoland and her pony Firecat?

Thanks. I don't remember a hamster.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie Almost sure this must be Enid Blyton's 'The Put 'Em Rights'. A group of six children form a band with the aim of righting the wrongs in their village, but end up confronting their own failings - Yolande is the youngest 'Put 'Em Right' (shy). The others are Sally (bossy) Micky (stingy) Amanda (lazy) Bobby (poor and doesn't know his place!!) and Podge (takes his wealth for granted). They spend a lot of time in various gardens.

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie the Put Em Rights? I think that’s Enid Blyton.

X post!

I loved See You Thursday

Pretty sure there was no pony - just children.
