Enid Blyton at Her Best! 19/04/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Brilliant, timeless stories
Disadvantages Language can be hard to understand in places

When you think of Enid Blyton's works what springs to mind? Maybe the adventures experienced by the Famous Five? How about the escapades of the Secret Seven? Or the loveable Noddy and friends? These are all well known stories that out parents read to us and in some cases we are reading to our children. But what about the adventures of Jo, Bessie and Fanny? Or the funny ways of the Saucepot Man? Or Moon-Face, the man with a great beaming, round face along with a great beaming smile? Hmm, they're not so well known! The Enchanted Wood is a brilliant read, full of mystery and delightful ... more

Advantages Imaginative stories, incredible lands, and heroic characters.
Disadvantages Slightly dated.

Enid Blyton, in my opinion, is the most amazing children’s author of all time. As I look fondly back, I’m sure most will remember the feelings of excitement and exhilaration that swept over us as we sunk deeper and deeper into the fantasy lands Blyton created. Turning the pages as the tension rose, and wondering what would become of the colourful characters she created, our imaginations were captured by her amazing stories of adventure-loving children who visited fictional lands unbeknown to anyone other than magical folk. Author Information: Enid Mary Blyton was born on 11th August 1897, in a ... more

ENID BLYTON'S BEST WORK 16/09/2002

User recommends the product

Advantages excellent, magical, well written children's book
Disadvantages slightly dated now

I'm now back at school - and in a recent English lesson, we were asked to think about which books, if any, we enjoyed when we were younger. I immediately thought of my Enid Blyton phase - when I was six or seven, and becoming more of an independent reader, I started to really enjoy all of the Enid Blyton books, namely The Famous Five series. But, there was one of her books that was the most creative of them all - well, actually it was a series of books about three children and their adventures up the Faraway Tree. The first book in this series is called The Enchanted Wood, and sets the scene ... more

Enid (Mary) Blyton (1897-1968) 22/03/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Wonderful read
Disadvantages None

Enid Blyton was a British writer whose career spanned 40 years in which time she published over 700 children's books - some of her characters including The Famous Five, The Secret Seven and more famously Noddy and Big Ears and the other folk of Toyland. This book is a particular favourite of mine - i remember as a 7 year old sitting around the teacher intently listening as everday she read 2-3 pages of this book to us before hometime. I passed my love of it onto my younger sisters and am now reading bits of it to little one who loves it just as much as i did and still do. It was first ... more

User recommends the product

Advantages MAGICAL AND AN EXCELLENT READ
Disadvantages NONE

Advantages Great book from about age 7 - 30!!
Disadvantages Language tricky to understand in parts for youngsters!

I remember the moment clearly. It was a warm March day in 1986 at St Gerards school and Mrs Fitzpatrick got us all to sit infront of her desk. She had a new book to read to us. There was about 30 of us all 6&7 year olds making a racket as usual. I think the teacher had read the first three lines and there was a stunning silence. She had done it, shut the rabbel up! Amazing, how could a book have such an impact. This is the kind of book I am talking about. Well I read it again fairly recently and it still made me laugh and read on and on and on. The book is about 3 kids who have to move from ... more

Enid Blyton is one of the most successful children's writers ever. Her prolific output of 700 books has been translated into more than 40 languages and sold in excess of 400 million copies worldwide.First pulication of this book was May 1939. My mum was given this book as a youngster and then passed it onto myself when i was 10, I read it cover to cover and on finishing I started it all again. This is a gorgeous fairy tale for you to read alone or to capture the attention of youngsters as young as 5 if you are willing to sit and read the whole book to them.because once you have started they ... more
