Does anybody know anything about Amelia Jane?

Been reading lots of Amelia Jane to my dd recently. She is 4 and she absolutely loves them.

My question is this - as far as I am aware Enid Blyton wrote 3 Amelia Jane books:

  1. Naughty Amelia Jane
  2. Amelia Jane Again
  3. More about Amelia Jane.

So how come when I look on Amazon, there's all these extra bizarre things such as
Good Idea, Amelia Jane
Amelia Jane is Naughty Again
Amelia Jane Get's into Trouble......

They all name Enid Blyton as the author, so what's the story?
Are they making up new ones and passing them off as Blyton?
Or are they mixing around the stories into different compilations and re-selling them? Which is utterly pointless obviously. Who's gonna buy the same stories printed in a different order (they still sell the original 3 as first published - albeit heavily edited).

Sorry didn't reply to you EachPeach - and no, I'm not really getting enough sleep.

But I have noticed something about it - it doesn't happen when I am with other people, interacting with them in any way, only if wandering around a shop or something. So I am less worried - I've been 'watching' myself and I don't do it anywhere screamingly inappropriate, like whilst talking to a teacher or a health visitor! Just when I am being absent minded!

Can't begin to imagine of what you are referring?

Picking your nose whilst sleeping????
Dribbling randomly????

LOL no, sorry my fault for thread crashing, it's a horrible thing to do to people!

EAchpeach was referring to a thread a started because I talk to myself a lot.

Imagine that! You could have a thread all on your own!!!!

Apologies again.

I imagine it can be most debilitating. Particularly if you are kepping yourself awake at night with your own nattering.

I say - read more Enid Blyton.

Well- chatting on here is a little like talking to yourself anyway!
