As a child I was raised on a diet of Enid Blyton, from Noddy to the
famous five,the secret seven,the schoolgirls of St Claires...
I could go on and on...
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, heaps of tomatoes and
lashings of ginger beer!
Just how important books have always been to me, not just poetry,
but a really good story, is a "long story"...
I'll save it for another day...
I now collect old Enid Blyton hardbacks, such as the one above, I just love
the illustrations as much as anything...
A few years ago all newly produced EB books were rewritten in a
politically correct manner, which makes
the originals all the more appealing to me!
