Enid Blyton's Novels

Reminisce about those novels. Remember famous five when it was adapted into a Television show? I loved those novels. And there was one that I loved, "Everyday book of goodnight stories". Miss it very much. What of Noddy in (I think) toon town? Was there a series like that? Enid Blyton was a great writer, full of imaginative ideas.

I grew up with Blyton. She had the greatest influence om my childhood literary development. If i have to do it again, I will grow up in the 80s/90s again.

God how i miss those days. How can i forget Dame Washalot?

Oh my, u can't imagine how much i loved Enid Blyton. It was one of my first love. Got to know so much about the fairytale world, i sure wished it was real. I need to get enough of them for my kids. From lady birds stories, to Enid blyton, yes of course the famous 5, gollywog stories, sweet valley twins, sweet vally high, mallory towers, lots & lots then pacesetters--- Until i grew into the world of best sellers. I would still read those books anyday anytime

Yeah! Grew up seeing most of her books in my house…had a lot of them…de comics! my sis and bro were comic collectors  guess we were all avid readers

OMG! I absolutely looooove Enid Blyton's books. I remember how I reread the Mallory Towers so many times till I knew parts of it by heart. Whenever I was bored, doing dishes or something, I'd "re-read" the funny passages in my mind and burst out laughing; hehehe they thought I was weird for laughing without apparent cause. Loved Daryl, Alicia, Gwendoline and the forgetful Irene! And the Faraway Tree! The Wishing Chair! Famous Five! Secret Seven! And More and more!
Man, when we got the Faraway Tree collection for my little brother, I re-read the three books that very night before the poor boy even had a chance to touch them! Aaah,,,,remember SaucePan Man, Dame Washaalot, MoonFace, Silky,,,memories, memories!

enid blyton books are tight you can get them any where like in some big supermarkets like big treat shoprite or to come down alittle you can get at tj mart (tejuosho market) precisely abiodun bookshop abeg when you buy send the price cause io want to get some too

St. Claires & Mallory Towers was it for me too. I relished those novels. Yeah. . . they made me long to go to boarding school abroad _{(which was merely a wish)} I loved d characters too, their pranks, their food (scones, brownie,lemonade,e.t.c.) _{my mouth used to water big time}. They were great books.

Enid Blyton is da bomb. She's written the most educational & formative books for children so far.

I grew up with Enid Blyton. I still have my old school stories, St Claires and Mallory Towers with the annoying Gwendoline! I'm saving them for my daughter! I'm going to buy all the ones I lost and start a library for my children.
The Enchanted Wood and The Magic Faraway Tree are my favorites. Who remembers Dame Slap, Moon Face, Silky and Mr Whatsisname? Who was the character who used to snore so loudly that the kids all longed to pop a nut into his open mouth!
Gosh, memories!!

Oh Lord, so many memories just keep flooding back. 
Good idea, i shld get a complete library of her books for my kids too. Enid's books shaped my english language as early as 3 years of age.

All Enid Blyton's books were simply put-magical. Magical for a young teenager growing up then.
From the 'The Malory Towers series, 'The Wishing-Chair series' to 'The Secret Seven series' and many others,never a dull moment. Also into The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew et al back then. Fascinating stuff.

He - Enid Blyton. My momsie kept a complete library of her books till today and I can read any of them when I get home. Some of those books are as old as me.

Enid Blyton was great writer. I enjoy the Famous Five series.

Enid Blyton? Are you kidding? I was weaned on the stuff!

Was never into the Famous Five and all those stuff, but the fairy tales, aaaahhh.

I remember those tiny square books her stories came in. Had them lined on my bedside table like trophies. She's one of the reasons I'm writing today, God bless her.
