  • Enid Blyton Books Part 2
    Enid Blyton Books Part 2. Stories for younger children By Zita Thornton Enid Blyton’s writing career began with poetry, gradually moving into short stories, mainly published in magazines, whilst she continued the day job as a teacher of young children. It is, therefore, no surprise that her first stories were tales of fairies and fantasy that would be appre- ciated by her young charges. However, one of her first full length books, published in 1924, was an account of the zoo and its inhabitants, who became models for some of her later fictional creatures. In this way, Blyton constantly drew on earlier ideas and developed them in later stories. So ‘The Enchanted Wood’ which first appeared in ‘The Yellow Fairy Book’later became central to ‘A Faraway Tree Adventure’ and Toyland, home of Noddy, appeared first in ‘The Enid Blyton Book of Brownies’. Blyton was a prolific and varied writer publishing around 15 books a year as well as contributing to magazines, annuals and anthologies. She wrote books about mischievous animals, both those on the farm and those in the circus. Her output included nature books for ‘Children of Cherry Tree Farm’ this edition young children as well as fictional stories. It is said that it took her less than a week to finish published by Dean & Son 1972. This was the writing one book. Moreover, her stories also appeared under various pseudonyms in annuals. In first in a series of books set on farms. First the 1920s and 30s, Blyton wrote as Audrey Saint Lo as well as Christopher and Becky Kent, and published in 1940, the original edition is later, in 1943, published a novel ‘The Adventures Of Scamp’ using the name Mary Pollock.

  • Discovering Enid Blyton in Hay-On-Wye by David Baumann February 5-7, 2007 3,344 Words
    Discovering Enid Blyton in Hay-on-Wye by David Baumann February 5-7, 2007 3,344 words I don’t remember when I first heard about Hay-on-Wye, but it’d been mentioned to me by several people over the years in almost reverential tones as being the place for used books. Trouble is, for a California boy, this little town on the border of Wales and England was a v-e-r-y long way away. “Hay-on-Wye—it has the world’s largest used bookstore! ” I had been told. Of course, I’d been in huge used bookstores before—the cavernous Acres of Books in Long Beach, California, and many-roomed Powell’s in Portland, Oregon. Not quite as large as these, the local Book Baron in Anaheim and Cliff’s Books in Glendale are noted for having about a couple hundred yards of corridors lined with ceiling-high bookshelves. But Hay-on-Wye! I pictured an establishment maybe several centuries old with so many narrow aisles that one would need a map just to traverse the interior, with winding wooden stairways to multiple upper floors, unforeseen nooks and alcoves, and stashes of books forgotten since the time of Charles Dickens. The reality was different from the dream, as is often the case. In May 2006 my wife and I traveled in the United Kingdom on a vacation anticipated for ten years and finally realized. Naturally I made it a priority to go to Hay-on-Wye. After a stay at a bed and breakfast in Llandrindod Wells in central Wales, we drove through picturesque pastoral countryside with sheep on one side of the road and dark forest on the other, then past stone farmhouses set in meadows, and finally approached Hay-on-Wye.

Adventure Stories By Zita Thornton It was writing ‘The Adventurous Four’ in Whilst sorting out a spare room in my mother’s house recently, I came across a most enticing 1941 that gave Enid Blyton the idea for her box. It contained some of my childhood books. The most memorable were those written by Enid Famous Five series. Blyton. Ruthlessly, I decided that my groaning bookshelves could take no more and I decided to sell. However, when I found myself buying more than I was selling I realised that I had become a collector. From the early 1920s to the mid 1960s, Enid Blyton wrote over 700 books for children of all ages. Her vast output included fairy tales, animal stories, adventure books, school stories, poems and plays. These included familiar favourites such as the Famous Five and Noddy, which have never lost their appeal and are still published today. To cover all those genres in one article would do an injustice to this prolific author so I have decided to write the article in two parts. Part 1 looks at her adventure books aimed at the reader from around 7 or 8 years old.

Apprenticed to a hairdresser in the Apple Market in Kingston he later had his own shops in the Apple Market, Church St and Thames St. He first took up photography as a hobby and in 1860 gave up hairdressing to become a photographer.

  • Scripture the QUARTERLY of the CATHOLIC BIBLICAL ASSOCIATION
    Scripture THE QUARTERLY OF THE CATHOLIC BIBLICAL ASSOCIATION VOLUME xm July 1961 No 23 THE NEW ENGLISH VERSION OF THE NEW TESTAMENTi , A massive confidence trick, though without criminal intention' is what the Sunday Express called this new translation; 'it is as if a trade union leader had collaborated with Miss Enid Blyton.' Well of course the biblical translator is fair game. It is right that he should be. The public are warmly invited to criticise when a version is made expressly in their interest and advertised with a barrage of propaganda. Nevertheless, the' I am no expert, but .. .' is never an impressive opening, and what follows it will often be found to be a matter of taste, personal taste; in this instance literary taste. One does not despair of quasi-absolute standards in the judgment of literary excel­ lence, but it is at least disconcerting for the layman when one respected man of letters can write that the Gospel translations are 'admirable ... what slept has been awakened' (John Masefield in The Times), and another can speak of a ' defect of tone throughout,' , a language of administrators, even dropping to that of politicians' (V. S. Pritchett in the New Statesman). It is beyond our competence, and therefore fortunate that it is outside our scope, to weigh literary merits. But there is a question one would like to ask and which every translator must ask himself: Is the translation to be better than the original or as bad? It is a commonplace, for example, that Luke loves to plane 1 The New English Bible.

  • 1 the Blyton Enigma: Changing Perspectives on Children's Popular
    The Blyton enigma: Changing perspectives on children’s popular culture David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. One of the most lucrative publishing sensations in the UK during the mid-2010s has been the parody children’s book. The cycle began in 2014 when an artist, Miriam Elia, produced We Go To the Gallery. A small, card-bound book of 20 double-page spreads, it was initially intended as an independently published art project. The book is a kind of spoof or parody of the massively successful 1960s series for beginning readers, Ladybird Books: it appears under the imprint ‘Dung Beetle’. Each page shows ‘mummy’ and her two children John and Susan as they encounter the works at a contemporary art gallery. At the bottom of the page, in the manner familiar from the original Ladybirds, are three ‘new words’ to add to the reader’s vocabulary – although in this case they include words like ‘violate’, ‘feminist’ and ‘hegemony’. We Go To the Gallery is to some extent a parody of the Ladybird Books: the illustrations are in the same bland realist style, and the dialogues are highly stilted. Mummy is relentlessly patronising and pedagogical, and John and Susan are clean, well-behaved and obedient. The book presents an orderly image of middle-class family life that seems strikingly old fashioned – and of course much of the humour derives from the contrast between this and the contemporary, ‘adult’ material they encounter in the gallery.

He’s obviously a controversial character and undoubtedly committed atrocities, but nevertheless, there is, to me, something impressive in the late Fidel Castro stipulating before his death that there should be no statues of him, or monuments to him.
