  Schoolfriend was the biggest-selling girls' comic throughout the '50s, followed closely by the slightly more modern June , then publishers Fleetway combined the two in the 1960s, keeping the most popular features of each. And this book is a wonderful collection of the best of those, from the 1960s and 1970s. There are comedy capers with Bessie Bunter, the funniest girl in school; uplifiting tales of triumph over terrible adversity with The Girl with Big Feet ; the heart-wrenching ordeals of Emma in the Shade - the girl who is a nobody , and thrilling short stories such as Gwenda's Desperate Ride . All this, plus fashion, advice, competitions and charming pinups of beautifully groomed dogs, The Best of June and Schoolfriend is a wonderful oasis of innocence from times past.
