Chock full of vibrant colour illustrations from Alex Paterson, these are the perfect way to introduce the Faraway Tree adventures to children aged five and up. Enid Blyton is arguably the most famous childrens author of all time, thanks to series such as The Wishing-Chair, The Faraway Tree, The Mysteries, The Famous Five and The Secret Seven. Enid takes her place alongside Roald Dahl, Beatrix Potter, and A. A. Milne as one of Britains true heritage childrens authors. Her books were terrific page-turners in the way no others were. (Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse). My mother had a love affair with books. It was deep and strong and beautiful and she passed it along to all seven of her children. The three Faraway Tree books were part of this affair, and deeply cherished in my family, as they led to many hours of imaginative play. So when I received the first two books in this beloved series, I was shocked and dismayed to find that since my childhood, they have been watered-down and sanitized for todays jaded readers. While I understand that Fanny and Di.ck are less palatable than their modern, politically correct counterparts, I do wonder, what on earth was wrong with Jo, and Bess? And sausage rolls? Pop Biscuits? I must say, Pop Cakes just dont have the same ring to them. These things mark cultural differences that todays children (and adult readers!) could do with a bit more of, cocooned as they often are by lives filled with technology and self rather than travel and understanding. I was grossly disappointed. If you read these books as a child, find an early edition. Anything else will be a waste of money. If anyone knows where to find said early edition, I would love to know!

  • 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.

  • Was Enid Blyton the Mother from Hell? Last Updated: 12:01Am GMT 13/03/2002
    Was Enid Blyton the mother from hell? www.telegraph.co.uk Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 13/03/2002 One daughter says she was a fair and loving mother, but the other claims she was arrogant and 'without a trace of maternal instinct'. On Mother's Day, 80 years after Enid Blyton's first book was published, Gyles Brandreth talks to both of them. 'ENID BLYTON? She was a wonderful mother." "Enid Blyton? She wasn't a mother at all." I am talking to the daughters of Enid Blyton, the world's most prolific children's author (700 titles: 400 million copies sold, in 42 languages, around the globe) whose first book, Child Whispers, was published 80 years ago. I am meeting Miss Blyton's daughters - her only children - separately, because to meet them together would not be possible. Once upon a time, when they were little girls, and their mother was the J. K. Rowling of her day, they were photographed together constantly, playing in the sandpit, laughing on the lawn, curled up together at their mother's knee. These days, the sisters neither see nor speak to one another. Independently, but in the same words, they tell me, "It's easier this way." Gillian Baverstock, the older daughter, is 70 now, a widow, mother and grandmother, living in a fine house on the edge of Ilkley Moor, with her 12-year-old golden retriever, Bruce, surrounded by a mass of Blyton memorabilia. After lunch (served with a delicious Rioja), she puts my coffee on Enid Blyton's side table: "Yes," she says, proudly, "the very table at which she created The Famous Five." Gillian has a deep, warm voice and speaks in formal sentences, with wonderful diction and appropriate emphasis.

  • Blyton Is Back: New Stories and Adventures for a New Generation Submitted By: Four Communications Group - Duplicate Sunday, 24 August 2008
    Blyton is back: New stories and adventures for a new generation Submitted by: Four Communications Group - Duplicate Sunday, 24 August 2008 Blyton is back: New stories and adventures for a new generation • Solve the mystery the Famous Five never did with the ‘Survival Guide’ • Return to the magic faraway tree for a new spin off series ‘The Enchanted World’ 24 August 2008: Chorion, owners of the Blyton publishing estate, has announced today a new content development programme that will see some of Blyton’s famous characters feature in brand-new adventures. This is the first time Chorion has undertaken a programme like this, which will see 20 new books released to the UK over the next 18 months, since acquiring the estate in 1996. All the new books will remain true to Blyton’s classic storytelling style and values. The Famous Five’s Survival Guide (Hodder – 4th September 2008, £15.99): This is a brand new Famous Five mystery and adventure survival handbook in one. As you would expect from a classic Famous Five adventure the Survival Guide is packed full of stolen treasure, problem solving, traps and traitors. The story is told by the grown up Julian, Dick, Anne and George and is about the only mystery they (and Timmy the dog) never solved when they were kids – The Mystery of the Royal Dragon of Siam. Included are their personal diary pages and all the clues they collected about the mystery at the time. As the Famous Five tell their story they also share their guide to solving mysteries and adventuring in the great outdoors with tips on cracking codes, using a compass, building an escape raft and camping.
