Very good. "Lone Pine is a series of children's books written by English author Malcolm Saville. The earlier books evoke visions of an outdoor 1940s and '50s childhood reminiscent of Enid Blyton's Famous Five books, in which children are allowed to have adventures, explore strange places and encounter villains without adult supervision. Many of the books are set on or around the Long Mynd and Stiperstones hills in south Shropshire, England, but some are based in Sussex (centred on Rye), Dartmoor, the Goathland and Whitby area of Yorkshire and the Southwold and Walberswick area of the Suffolk coast." My partner and I both read some of these as children; we visited Rye a few years ago, at Dianene's instigation, and saw where Savile had lived.

That was an interesting quotation and comment on the image. I knew of Enid Blyton, and though unsure, I believe my late wife had acquired couple of the books for my daughter when she was a kid.
