Would I be unreasonable to initiate legal proceedings against this man?

With thanks to Jemima232 for rifling through Sir James’ archives to supply the title of this one.

Looking forward to Prefects, Lonely

Lonelykettleshed · 09/08/2019 20:58

Are there any more missing? I think that I have all but two.

funnelfanjo · 09/08/2019 21:08

We’re still missing Excitements I think. I could do a transcript but it would take a couple of weeks.

Gooddie · 09/08/2019 21:08

I’m making my way through them. Loving the new information from the uncut versions.
I’ve never read the one where Margot listens to her devil and ends up in the river, so saving that!
Thank you so much

Hi!
I used to have access a long time ago. Could I have access again, and I'll see if any that I still have are any that are missing.

pontefractals · 09/08/2019 21:19

I've just sent Prefects over to Parker to be added to the Dropbox cos I can only read from it, not write to it - I hope that's OK? I hope you're not regretting your new job, @Parker123 Hmm

LaurieMarlow · 09/08/2019 21:23

Parker, thank you so much for this random act of kindness (and all those who helped along the way). I can’t quite believe I have the whole series in my kindle now Shock

LaurieMarlow · 09/08/2019 21:30

I’m looking forward to being intensely annoyed by Mary Lou all over again Grin

burnoutbabe · 09/08/2019 22:38

I loved the series, I collected as a teenager when you could buy in WHSmiths then sold. Then rebought the paperbacks again in my 20s or so. Then it was the thrill of tracking them down. Now it would cost a bomb, I managed most of my 2nd lot from charity shops I think.
Would love the Dropbox link if anyone can send it.

Howyoualldoworkme · 10/08/2019 00:19

This has blimmin well made my year, sad old woman that I am Grin
Thanks to everyone involved for all their hard work Flowers

I have just finished ‘Joey makes an absolutely massive drama out of moving house’, anyone else think Jack drugged Joey after she fell into box to give everyone a clear day to pack stuff up?

Doubleraspberry · 10/08/2019 08:01

As someone in the middle of a house move, I’d be incredibly grateful for some sedation and a room to myself. I’m off to find a box.

Sleepflower22 · 10/08/2019 08:20

Could I get the Dropbox link please?

Yugi · 10/08/2019 08:27

Oh moving house was definitely a trauma but probably easier for me as I didn’t worry about washing dolls clothes etc

Doubleraspberry · 10/08/2019 08:34

That’s probably wise of you. I’ve been up since 5am ironing ours.

Parker231 · 10/08/2019 08:39

@pontefractals - thank you for sending over Prefects.

Hopefully you will now all have your Dropbox copy. I’ve had some problems with the Dropbox this morning with it limiting how much I could share but I think I’ve got around it and managed to send out the copies.

I’ve not read Prefects before so looking forward to a new read!

Yugi · 10/08/2019 08:46

I have added Prefects to the kindle format file. The only ones missing are 31 and 38.
38 is Excitements, which I can’t find.
Wikipedia says 31 is Tom Tackles but that is in there as 19b, so I am a bit puzzled by that. Anyone know what is going on there?

Thank you Parker and Yugi! Brilliant stuff altogether. You are both topping and deserve an extra slice of Kuchen for the extra prep Cake

raspberryrippleicecream · 10/08/2019 11:24

Yugi, the numbering was changed at some point so there is now no 31

Lonelykettleshed · 10/08/2019 12:32

Is it Jo to the Rescue that is missing? The one where they all go on holiday and 4 year old Len meets Reg for the first time. I seem to remember that this was missing from the old collection too.

Jemima232 · 10/08/2019 15:50

Sir James and the Busted Fanjo

Well, I've had another look through the manuscript and I think that it might be worthy of publication if I edit it heavily.

I still suspect Mr. Winebucket of being the real author though.

raspberryrippleicecream · 10/08/2019 17:10

Yes, Jo to the Rescue is missing and also Excitements I think.

SirJamesTalbot · 10/08/2019 17:15

Managed today to send the books to my kindle.... does happy dance.

Thanks again @Parker231 and @yugi.

Wikipedia says 31 is Tom Tackles but that is in there as 19b, so I am a bit puzzled by that. Anyone know what is going on there?

Tom was published out of sequence due to originally appearing in an annual IIRC. So 19b will be where it is chronologically and 31 will be publishing order.
