What strikes me v much is how the stories were still very much influenced by Victorian and early 20C children’s fiction tropes and motifs: melodramatic reversals of fortune, amnesia, orphans, even a story about funding a TB sanatorium, which seems v implausible in 1972. (I wonder if the writer of ‘Promise me, Paula’ had originally planned it as a historical story set in early 20C? It makes no sense in 1972, when the disease was treatable; also, given it was then known to be infectious, why the rest of the family wasn’t tested and monitored! Another possibility is that Ira Hope was meant to have cancer, not TB – but that wasn’t a subject mentioned much then.) A lot of the stories seem to rely on people not communicating: the story about Lonesome the dog is expecially trying, with the heroine repeatedly endangering herself and the dog…

Interestingly, ‘Paula Hope’ became ‘Marjorie van Dalsum’ in a Dutch translation a couple of years later!

Yes i think so but i don’t have that knowledge ready in my brain, i know that the nursery title Bobo Bunny was translated and published in Dutch in the 70’s.

Thanks! I’ll look through Tina. I notice the paper/print copy is superior to the British comics. So glad to have found the whole Marjorie/Paula story!

Worth noting that the comic was fortnightly for 19 January to 30 March 1974 due to the fuel crisis, so not all of the issue numbers contained within the CBRs are accurate – e.g. 2/3/74 was followed by 16/3/74, with no 9/3/74 issue in between =)
