Enid Blyton

At the latest 'Not a Reading Club', many of you told us how much you love books by Enid Blyton. Maggie Mae is a huge fan of the Famous Five books, which she says she'd recommend because of all the adventures (although she thinks there should have been another dog in the stories!). Other people liked the Secret Seven series, the Malory Towers school stories and the books about the Faraway Tree. 



I found this website:

which includes quizzes and information on all of her books.



This link from the BBC:


tells you about Enid Blyton herself. Did you know that, in 2008, she was voted the UK's best-loved writer?


I used to love reading Enid Blyton's books - my favourites were the ones in the Adventure series. I think she was the author that got me to love reading and I'm lucky to have lots of hardback books that my dad gave me from when he was young. 

Do you have a favourite Enid Blyton book?

  1. My favourite Enid Blyton books are the Secret Seven as there is such a big group of them and they have exciting adventures! Oli.C.

  2. I really love the folk of the faraway tree, because the characters are so fun and I have never read a book quite like it. My mum read it to me when I was about 3 or 4 , and ended up falling out of a tree! I still love the book, and I still have my old copy somewhere!
