I just noticed an error in an illustration in Swallowdale.
Being an illustration, I assume this would be the same in
every edition, but just for completeness, I was reading a
Cape edition from 1982
On Page 412, in the Illustration "Stretcher Party", there is
a person missing. There are 4 people on foot, plus Roger
in the stretcher. There should actually be 5 people on foot
(John, Nancy, Susan, Peggy and Titty).
Is anyone maintaining a "Trivia File" anywhere? I haven't noticed
one listed in the TARS web pages. It'd be nice to have one available
so that we could track little items like this.
I am reminded of the item I read on TARboard several months back
about a mistake in the closing pages of Secret Water -- the wrong
illustration of the crosstrees (missing the Eel totem) is inserted,
It would be nice to know which book editions have these mistakes,
so that we can watch out for them, as we try to build our
book collection. It would also just be interesting to have a trivia
file so that we could read about these little eccentricities in
the series.
