The books are still published in Germany (new ones are being written) but they haven't been published in English for years, an issue with the rights apparently (plus, as you say, Hitchcock would date them). But I agree, still cracking reads.Mark Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103997496549941279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787687837760913347.post-56658932269454156892019-03-18T21:53:08.089+00:002019-03-18T21:53:08.089+00:00The first one I ever read was The Mystery of the G...The first one I ever read was The Mystery of the Green Ghost back around 1969. For some reason I never cottoned on to the fact that it was one in a series, but a year or two later, one of my friends was raving about them and it was then the penny dropped when he mentioned Jupiter Jones. I don't know if I've read the full set, but if not, I must've read most of them. I even like the updated ones when the boys were a bit older. Asked about them in Waterstones a few weeks ago, but they're no longer listed, which is a shame as it means that today's kids are missing out. I presume that bookshops no longer stock them (are they still being published?) because Alfred Hitchcock's inclusion dates them, but they're still a great read.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787687837760913347.post-24853110052940832402019-03-06T21:14:16.466+00:002019-03-06T21:14:16.466+00:00bluetanso@googlemail.com if you ever think about a...bluetanso@googlemail.com if you ever think about a collaborationHugh O'Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945008465173455802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787687837760913347.post-31979844978358214642019-03-06T20:05:52.616+00:002019-03-06T20:05:52.616+00:00It's never occurred to me, no :)It's never occurred to me, no :)Mark Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103997496549941279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787687837760913347.post-49325687636722443512019-03-04T23:31:11.598+00:002019-03-04T23:31:11.598+00:00Ever thought about creating a 3i series podcast?
