from Noddy to the famous five, the secret seven, the schoolgirls of St Claires...

Enid Blyton fired the imagination of children everywhere;
how I longed to go on adventures like the famous five,
to catch smugglers, to ride off on my bicycle with bags of lettuce,

Hi there! Thanks for your visit and sweet words. I love what I see here and will definitely be back!
I loved Enid Blyton. And I can't believe they rewrote them politically correct. I hate when they underestimate children that way. Kids are able to understand that these stories took place in another era. Geez, give them some credit!
I LOVED Enid Blyton books. I was raised on them too. I wonder what was changed to make them more p.c.?
Never read it before. But now I want to! But in original.
(You are so going on my blogroll now)
