That's marvelous news Ruth! Here are a few more Princess Tina covers to celebrate:









- I wonder if Purita's medal looks anything like the one shown in the last of these?

LOL! I don't think so! XDDDDDD
Hopefully I will get a picture of her with the medal eventually! Waiting on her son at the moment to send them!

Not 100% certain about either of these: the first (reading Shakespeare on the bank of the River Avon) could be the work of either Purita or her hubby, while I suspect that the second one might be by Maria Paschal. I'm sure they aren't by British artists however, and either way I feel it'd be a shame not to post them:





...I love the way these covers reflect the changing seasons by the way. I just wish it was as easy to rush forward to Spring in real life!

Yah, I say first one is by Ortega and second one I'm in doubt too. It seems ver y Maria Pascual, but then in those years they all seemed to use the same kind of style in the covers.
Thanks though!

As my scanner is fired up already here are six more Princess Tina covers from 1971. To my eye the unsigned covers for May 8th and 22nd look more like her husband's work, but the other four are clearly by Purita herself (I love the fairground one! ):

They are Stunning!! Actually the last one, the face of the girl was used as well as a cover for the pocket stories of Girl.

Here are some more of Purita's covers, along with a couple by her husband:

...And here's a short tale from January 1971 where we learn that, next to her dear old dad, a young girl's heart will always belong to her pet zebra! Unfortunately it's unsigned, but to my inexpert eye it looks very much like Purita's work.







...Finally, here's the first page of another unsigned story that I'm slightly less sure about. If you think this is one of hers as well I'll be happy to add the other two pages.

Hi Phil! Last story, is not from Purita. I think it might be from Bosom. It looks very much like Franch's work but I think it might be Bosom or some one trying to look like him. It is definetely not Purita's, even if the girl tries to look like Patty.

Does anyone know the date of Purita's last Princess Tina cover? Did she do any Tina in 73? Thanks.

[RuthB]

Yes, she did most of them. I have some from 73 I thnk

Thanks Ruth, I have a couple but they are not signed.

If you want to put up a pic i can tell you if it is hers or not, but her style is very well recognized.
