Remember Enid Blyton?

[amalhaseeb]

I loved Enid Blyton's books growing up! From the Mallory Girls to Noddy to the Naughiest Girl in the School, most of the books in my shelf used to be by her. My writing style was heavily influenced by her in all the stories I wrote when I was little. But now that I reread some of her books, there's a lot of opinions sprinkled throughout that are quite iffy

Of course. It's her books that stared it all for me. My mum would find me sprawled on the bed or the couch with a book in hand the whole day; a new book every other week. She still does.

I love Enid Blyton!! After reading St. Clare and Mallory Towers as a child, all I wanted was my parents to send me to boarding school hahaha. I also enjoyed the Secret Seven and the Famous Five.

They have extra nostalgic value because my Mom bought them for me to share something she used to read as a child too.

I loved reading her books. The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, Five Findouters, Mallory Towers and St. Clare. Her books made my childhood interesting.

Oh I loved Enid Blyton. Summer holidays for me were full of reading 'famous fives' and 'secret sevens'. I especially loved her book ' The adventures of the wishing chair'. I could read it again any day. I think in some ways Enid Blyton initiated me into reading books, and I am so grateful for that now!

I love Enid Blyton, I grew up reading The Famous Five. It felt like I was living their adventures with them!

[FlissShields]

Oh I adored her books. Looking at them as an adult oh boy are they full of racism and a massive dose of sexism, but I still love them.

My favourites were the Mallory Towers and Naughtiest Girl series but I devoured all her short stories.

I still hope either of my kids will show an interest, but as my husband loathes her works with the fire of 10,000 suns, I suspect I may lose that battle

Of course! The first books I've read as a child were by Enid Blyton! I'm going to pass them on to my kids and grandkids!

My mother thought feeding me on a constant dose of Enid Blyton would make me put down novels like Dean Koontz and Sidney Sheldon at the tender, impressionable age of 4. I read all her books from early on and actually found them to be exciting. When I have kids this will definitely be an author they're gonna read.

My favorite Enid Blyton books were the Magic Wishing Chair. Although I had 50 of her 100 set of books, I only read the two of them right through to the end. Sadly, I sold the collection along with the rest of my books in time I was looking to downsize my belongings. Minimalism has become me, haha!

Back in those days, there wasn't as much choice in Children's books as there is now, and Enid Blyton was on every shelf. I used to go to my school library to get my books, and have read many of the titles.

My goodness I have not thought of her in ages. One of the first readers I really started to binge read. I read everything I could get my hands on when I was young but when we moved out of the country to the US I could not find her books anymore. It was before the days of Amazon, Ebay, and evening the Internet! I also then found Francine Pascal and it was all over.

I absolutely loved Enid Blyton books as a child. I could not get enough of them. I found that her books were entertaining and captivating. I hated all the Nancy Drew books mainly because I disliked the character, but I was fascinated by the Hardy Boys' book series by Enid Blyton. I considered her to be a great writer of children's books and hope to be as great a writer one day.

I really liked "The Naughtiest Girl in School" but found " The Famous Five" quite boring.
