  1. Hi, I had a Diana annual 60’s /70’s which had a story about a girl on a boat visiting different countries and looking at the costumes. She ended up wearing a sari if I remember right.can anyone help?

  2. I’ve checked all the Diana Annuals but I’m afraid I can’t see anything which looks like this. Do you remember anything else about the story? Might it have been in another annual?

    One story comes to mind as a possibility – “Petra the Party Maker” from the Judy Annual 1964. Petra is trying to organise a party for a sick and largely bedridden girl. The child has no interest in parties, but spends much of her time dreaming about foreign countries. So Petra organises a party in which she is taken down a river by boat, passing scenes of different countries, with people dressed in the national costumes, which have been set up along the river bank. No sari however, as India isn’t included.

    You can see a picture from the story here, and I would be happy to provide a scan of a page from it if that would help:
