She Enid Blytons Magical Treasury on a wide range of topics including education, natural history, fantasy, mystery, and biblical narratives and is best remembered today for her NoddyFamous Enid Blytons Magical Treasury and Secret Seven series. Her first book, Child Whispersa page collection of poems, was published in Following the commercial success of her early novels such as Adventures of the Wishing-Chair and The Enchanted WoodBlyton went on to build a literary empire, sometimes producing fifty books a year in addition to her prolific magazine and newspaper contributions. Her writing was unplanned and sprang largely from her unconscious mind: she typed her stories as events unfolded before her. The sheer volume of her work and the speed with which it was produced led to rumours that Blyton employed an army of ghost writersa charge she vigorously denied. Blyton's work became increasingly controversial among literary critics, teachers and parents from the s onwards, because of the alleged unchallenging nature of her writing and the themes of her books, particularly the Noddy series. Some libraries and schools banned her works, which the BBC had refused to broadcast from the s until the s because they were perceived to lack literary merit. Her books have been criticised as being elitistsexistracistxenophobic and at odds with the more progressive environment emerging in post-Second World War Britain, but they have continued to be best-sellers since Enid Blytons Magical Treasury death in She felt she had a responsibility to provide her readers with a strong moral framework, so she encouraged them to support worthy causes.

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.

  • 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.

It's not the only statement that had me itching to reach for a red pen. As for Enid Blyton herself, I must say I am surprised to find an immature and insecure personality behind a highly productive and famous life. Error rating book. Clare's series, The Twins at St. The wedding, at Bromley Register Office, was a quiet occasion, with no member of either Enid's or Hugh's family attending the ceremony. And I want the weeds cleared from that bed over there. How did it slip through the net, particularly in the seventies? Apr 09, Fiona rated it liked it. It takes its readers on a roller-coaster story in which the darkness is always banished; everything puzzling, arbitrary, evocative is either dismissed or explained". Blyton's home, Green Hedges, was auctioned on 26 May and demolished in ; [] the site is now occupied by houses and a street named Blyton Close. As many British children found themselves evacuated to the countryside, they took comfort from Enid, who gently encouraged them to identify the plants and wildlife she'd so often mentioned in her writing.
