Twinkle 1980s and 1990s

[AnneToday]

Hi, Can anyone remember these stories in Twinkle - or have I got the names wrong? Sooty - this was a black kitten. Grandpa's Magic Mirror - little girl went on adventures through the mirror, I think. The Wishing Word - a mystery story ending with the solving of the Wishing Word.

Hi Anne
Twinkle- my sis used to get it...for the free 'ladybird ring' etc.
the story strips - according to wiki are:

• Nurse Nancy - Nancy and her grandad have a toy hospital.
• Jean Genie - every time Gemma slaps the back pocket of her jeans a genie appears to grant her wish. The story is probably named after the song by David Bowie.
• Goody Gumdrops - Goody lives in Sweetie Town, where everyone is named after sweets.
• Jenny Wren - Jenny is a little girl who likes to dress up and make herself look pretty.
• Witch Winkle - Wendy Wilson has a very unusual friend - a witch called Winkle.
• Polly's Magic Paintbox - Whatever Polly paints comes to life because of her magic paints.
• Goldilocks and her Three Bears
• My Baby Brother - The adventures of a young girl and her baby brother.
• The Three Pennys - The adventures of 3 girls, all named Penny.
• Caroline and her Magic Car - Caroline has a magic car that will take her anywhere.
• Patsy Panda
• Silly Milly - She tries to do things right but always lands in a muddle.
• Patty Pickle - similar to Silly Milly.
• Sally Sweet
• Molly and her Dollies
• Dandy Lion
• Jilly of Jingle Bell School

Hi DSCOMAN. Thanks for the link. I think there are several strips missing from the list, but it's a good place to start.

I remember once getting up early when we were on holiday & walking to the local paper shop as it opened on the Tuesday of the holiday to get Twinkle which came out on Tuesday's! It was gloriously sunny, 1983 I think. I remember Nurse Nancy & Jenny Wren most. A friend from University was once a Twinkle cover girl
