Girl Picture Library

Post by Tammyfan »

Girl series 2 had her own picture library, which consisted of reprints from Tammy and Jinty. I want to write something on it but can't find any information or list of the issues. Does anyone have any information, please? Thank you.

Thank you, Ruth B!

Some of the stories I recognise as reprints from Tammy and Jinty, and Patty's World is easy. Some I can't place. Maybe we could look at a list and fill in gaps. I can get one started when I have time.

Well, I've had some luck - some Girl picture libraries in an auction. If I win I'll be able to fill more gaps.

Thank you for those identifications, Helsbels Can anyone place Penny's Best Friend? I don't recall any Penny in Jinty except the one that merged with her. And Stormy Seas and Old Mill?

Thank you, Helsbels. So they split Daily Dozen into two parts? That's interesting.

If I win the auction, and I'm pretty sure I will, I will be able to clarify more of the titles.

A Second Chance is about a girl called Julie Kemp and a puppy called Buttons, coincidentally the same name as her own canine companion who has just died of old age. Julie reluctantly agrees to be a puppy walker for young Buttons, who is being trained to become a guide dog.

If you need more information about the story, Tammyfan, to help you to identify its source you only need to ask.

I am still stuck on Penny's Best Friend. Can anyone give a synopsis or something that could help identify it, please?

I should have Old Mill and Stormy Seas in a few days if the auction goes my way. But if anyone can help with identifying those I'll be grateful.
