*Girls’ Picture Libraries: Launched in 1962, School Friend Picture Library originally alternated, like its companion Princess PL, between two features – in this case, teen model Tracy Jones and plucky equestrienne Penny of Pine Ridge. By issue #13, they started introducing other featured characters into the mix – ‘My Friend Sara’ from the weekly, the Sparrows of Angel Street, French Resistance fighter Linette and others. Our latest influx of School Friend Picture Libraries means that we now have an unbroken run of the series’ first 38 issues, so if you’re in a completist frame of mind, now is the time to strike!
