I didn’t realize you were moving in July - that’s...
It’s interesting to me that I was just thinking about all the old Enid Blyton books I loved to read when I was a kid and in the mornings papers was this story: Famous Five Set to Find Fame. Made me feel almost magical.
I read the ‘Secret Seven’ series, the ‘Famous Five’ of course, but loved the ‘Faraway Tree’ trilogy and ‘Wishing Chair’ set more I think. My favourite of all the many though would have to be ‘The Naughtiest Girl’ books. I am sure I only read 2 or 3 of them, yet it appears there are 8 on this site.
If you want to learn more about Enid Blyton, The Enid Blyton Society website is absolutely a must read. It’s quite amazing to see the list of writing, there are 100s of books. When I look through the list I see many other familiar books that I read as a child.

Oh yes, I remember Enid blyton. Used to read them in my younger days and imagined the thrill of going thru the time tunnel with them. Well, back to reality. Nice blog you got. Cheers from Fruity

I was the hugest fan of Enid Blyton. I’ve still got the St Clare books (a boarding school 6 book set). I’ve got others too, including Magic Faraway Tree which I read to my son every now and again.

I’ve not yet had the pleasure to read these books, but speaking with someone recently who said that she recognized my name from a common character in Enid Blyton’s books…she gave me examples of her books…”the enchanted tree”, or the willow tree…not sure - but the name is “Deneen” - is there a character named Deneen in any of these books???
Thanks for any help in advance…

Hi Deneen, I don’t recall a character called Deneen to be honest, but it was a long time ago that I read these books…. All the best in your search!
