He suddenly crashed into someone. Down they fell and the bicycle landed on them with a loud crash! Big-Ears had big pointed ears and wore red-striped pants. He then saw who he had bumped into. He had not seen Noddy Goes to Toyland like this little man. Big-Ears then asked him if he was a toy? He again said no. Big-Ears was not sure what to make of this man. And he found his nodding head quite peculiar. The little nodding man then explained that his head was made out of wood. And it was attached to his shoulders in such a manner that it nodded when he spoke. Suddenly, a mouse ran past the little man. He became very scared. The little man asked Big-Ears who was that. Is somebody following you? Big-ears was surprised and asked him why Noddy Goes to Toyland ran Noddy Goes to Toyland. The little man said that he became very lonely there. And also because the old man was carving a lion. Then the Old Carver made a round body of wood. Noddy Goes to Toyland then arms and legs of wood too! Then a wooden neck and a round wooden head. The little man told him that the eyes were made of blue beads and his hair was made out of bits of fur. Big-Ears was very amused at this. Big-Ears did not understand why the little man Noddy Goes to Toyland away. So he asked him why he chose to run. I want live with people. Big-Ears told him that he was going to Toyland. Toyland was a place where all the toys lived together. Big-Ears also told Noddy Goes to Toyland little man, that he could come with him to Toyland if he wanted to. Big-Ears told him not to worry as Big-Ears knew the way. If they hurried to the nearby station they could catch a train to Toyland. The little man was very happy. Then Big-Ears helped the strange man on his bicycle and told him to hold tight. The poor little wooden man almost fell off a few times. While riding his bicycle, Big-Ears asked the little man what was his name. To that, the little man said he did not have a name!

Do you remember the Noddy stories? Of course you do. But do you remember where Noddy came from? Or why he is called "Noddy"? Or why he seems to be only real little boy living in a town of toys? I didn't, so I thought it might be worth having another look at Noddy, and this first book, Noddy Goes to Toyland seemed a good place to start. Noddy actually made his debut as a serial of the first two books in a Sunday newspaper inbut Noddy Goes to Toyland was published as the first Noddy book, l Do you remember the Noddy stories? Noddy actually made his debut as a serial of the first two books in a Sunday newspaper inbut Noddy Goes to Toyland was published Noddy Goes to Toyland the first Noddy book, later on in the year. It has always intrigued me as an adult, why Noddy produces such extremes of reactions. Millions of young children love Noddy, and still clamour for stories about him — and adults equally complain about him as much as they ever did. Perhaps it is simply that Enid Blyton is so all-pervading. Certainly there was nothing to object to in this little book. I found the story to be imaginative and interesting, and quite surreal in places. And there's nudity too I'm afraid, but Why was he called "Noddy" for a start? His head is on a little spring, so it was an obvious name for him. But Noddy Goes to Toylandtold me in eight chapters just enough to satify my first questions, and to make me want to read more. It starts with Big- Ears the Brownie, a kind of dwarf-like creature with a tall pointed red hat and a long white beard. He is rushing through the woods on his bicycle, when he bumps into someone. Both of them are very surprised, and don't really know what to make of each other. Big-Ears can tell that this funny Noddy Goes to Toyland fellow without any clothes on isn't a brownie. He says to Big-Ears that he's not a pixie or a goblin either, and is nodding all the time. When asked why, he says, "Because I'm a little nodding man". He's nothing if not logical. He made me," is the reply. Noddy explains that his eyes are blue beads, and his hair is made out of bits of fur from Old Man Carver's cat's back. The cat didn't mind, apparently, so that's all right. It turns out that Noddy has run away, because he's lonely. But Big-Ears says that because the little wooden man is not a brownie he can't live with him in his own town there are obviously a lot of rules in this place so he offers a lift on his bicycle to the station, so that he can catch a train to Toyland. And since he doesn't have a name, Big-Ears calls him "Noddy". When they get to the station, Big-Ears decides he will go with Noddy on the train to Toyland. A lovely little train "made of brightly painted wood" arrives, full of passengers who all seem to be toys. In their carriage are two dolls, a wooden soldier and a pink Noddy Goes to Toyland. The dolls say helpfully that Noddy has forgotten to get dressed, but Noddy points out that he hasn't forgotten, as he has never had any clothes — so Big-Ears promises that they will get him some clothes in Toyland. The train rumbles along, "its gay wooden carriages jollying behind it, full of toys and pixies and brownies" and they go through Golliwog Town. There are lots of golliwogs going about their business, playing cricket in the park, walking the baby in a pram, cycling and driving and so Noddy Goes to Toyland. There is even a statue of a noble "Golliwog I" in the town square. The train stops to let three golliwogs on, and they have a bit of a scuffle with the pink Noddy Goes to Toyland, who keeps getting her tail trodden on. Then the journey starts again, through Rocking-Horse Town and Clockwork-Mouse Town, where the clockwork mice are very careful not to get into the same carriage as the pink cat. She gets off anyway, at the next station, which just happens to be Toy-Cat Town. Noddy, who all along seems to have made very sensible and truthful observations asks, "Where do I get out? This is all Toyland isn't it? What station do I Noddy Goes to Toyland out at? Is there a Nodding Man Station? Toy village is full of lots of bustling crowds, and Noddy is feeling very self-conscious about not having any clothes to wear. A teddy bear with a blue ribbon points them towards the shops, and Big Ears explains to Noddy all about money, and how you have to work for it, and then exchange it for all the things you need. But Noddy Goes to Toyland are expensive, so it's off to the market where there are plenty of well-stocked stalls. I can work very hard. I'll be able to pay you back quite soon, dear Big-Ears", says Noddy, as Big-Ears spots some lovely red shoes. Noddy is kitted out Noddy Goes to Toyland blue trousers which are nice and wide at the bottom, plus a red shirt, a yellow belt, and a yellow tie with red Noddy Goes to Toyland to match. Noddy now looks very smart, but Big Ears can't afford a coat for him, just a hat. Noddy is quite taken with a blue doll's bonnet, but Big-Ears laughs at him, "You can't wear a bonnet; you're not a baby doll. Really, you don't know very much, Noddy. Everything is looking good, but then a big toy policeman confronts Noddy, demanding to know whether he is a real toy.

  • 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.

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.

Programme trailers announcing ‘Whizz’ will start on Monday 9 January, ready for his first appearance on Monday 16 January at 7.30am during Five’s pre-school block ‘Milkshake!’. Whizzing around on his brightly coloured red and yellow skates, Whizz will introduce Noddy to five different languages - Mandarin, French, Spanish, Swahili and Urdu. These five have been chosen to reflect languages from around the world that pre-school children in the UK might hear spoken today and to help make them aware of other languages. One hundred two-minute ‘Say it with Noddy’ episodes have been created and will be broadcast in fortnightly language cycles after the popular CGI animated series ‘Make Way for Noddy’. Each episode is based on a word that featured in the preceding Noddy programme. ‘Whizz’ introduces the word and its translation to Noddy and then encourages the audience at home to join in and say it with Noddy.

  • Animated Dialogues, 2007 64
    Animation Studies – Animated Dialogues, 2007 Cordelia Brown Flowerpot Men The Haptic Image in Brian Cosgrove and Richard Hall’s Animations I. The Haptic Image Haptic is a term used to describe the experience of touch. In most fields it refers to a generalised tactile sensibility. For example in Child Psychology, haptic is defined as ‘the perceptual experience that results from active exploration of objects by touch’ (Vasta et al. 1999, p.201). In recent art history and media theory, haptic is a term that has come to articulate the perception of touch through any experiential means. So one may have a haptic experience through vision, sound, taste etc., without any exclusive use of the touch sense itself. Haptic visuality (Marks 2002, p. xiii) or viewing, detaches this sense of touch in order to focus exclusively on that which is experienced via vision. In other words one can experience the sensation of touch through vision alone. This application of the term has its basis in art history (Gandelman 1991, p.5) but has more recently also been adapted to apply to the moving image and cinema theory. For example, an image of skin being cut, or an intimate portrayal of the texture of a stone wall facilitate an haptic viewing. The eye is able to relate in the brain the process of a tactile sensation without the viewer’s physical touch sense (i.e. the skin) playing any part in the process. Haptic viewing moments such as these occur frequently within cinema, as well as in other visual arts. French philosopher Gilles Deleuze was one of the earliest to address such a moment within film in his interpretation of a scene from Robert Bresson’s Pickpocket in which hands are depicted brushing against each other and passing around an object: The hand doubles its prehensile function (of object) by a connective function (of space); but from that moment, it is the whole eye which doubles its optical function by a specifically ‘grabbing’ [haptique] one, if we follow Reigl’s formula for indicating a touching which is specific to the gaze.

  • Understanding Enid Blyton and Her Appeal
    31 Loved by children and derided by the high-minded: Understanding Enid Blyton and her appeal Jenny Byrne University of Southampton Abstract: The life and writings of Enid Blyton (1897-1968) will be examined through a psychoanalytical lens to illuminate the complexity of Blyton’s childlike and childish personality and her authorial drive. Blyton’s biographers describe her variously as being spiteful, selfish and given to tantrums. Most certainly her professed love of children was not echoed in the treatment of her daughters. But by entering into the world of the child she charmed her readers. This was not unusual for children’s authors; for example, Lewis Carroll, A. A. Milne and Beatrix Potter exhibited the same facility and had elements of the childlike in their personalities. However, unlike the critical approval received by Carroll, Milne and Potter, Blyton has been disparaged by the critics and her stories regarded at as banal, badly written and mediocre. She has been criticised for sexism, racism, xenophobia, class prejudice and snobbery. As an author it is the understanding Blyton has of the child’s desire for pared-down, simple tales of tension and resolution that allows her stories to be adored by children and makes their gladdened appreciation impervious to the high-minded disapproval and petulant foot stamping of the literary critics. Introduction Anyone growing up in the middle of the 20th-century in Britain will have heard of Enid Blyton. Blyton’s output was prodigious – she authored 600 - 700 books and has been translated into twenty-seven languages, with total average sales of ten million books a year.

  • A Seasonal Story……..With Apologies to Enid Blyton! Noddy Was Unhappy
    A seasonal story……..With apologies to Enid Blyton! Noddy was unhappy. Yet again he had received a letter in the post telling him he would have to send off his licence and money as PC Plod, using his latest toy, the Dickybird speed camera, had caught him over the limit once more. He was certain he was driving safely, and had not seen PC Plod and his van hiding in the bushes until too late, as he was concentrating on the road ahead rather than his speedometer. Meanwhile, in his new headquarters, Brainstorm Towers, Chief Constable Brainstorm was pleased with himself. He was constantly in the news, and his friends at the Daily Lost, the main Toytown newspaper, never disagreed with anything he said. In fact, their most fearless and controversial reporter, David Barclays-Lloyds-Halifax, wrote each week how wonderful he was. It did not matter that David Barclays-Lloyds-Halifax lived a long way off in Narnia, and only got his information second hand, as the Daily Lost never let on to their readers, and in fact gave them the impression he actually lived in the area. At the Daily Lost things were also looking good. Every other day they were able to fill in at least a page about how well Chief Constable Brainstorm was doing, especially the wonderful statistics regarding safety on Toytown’s roads. It was incredible that after the Dickybird camera was introduced in October 2001, 2003, saw a reduction in deaths on Toytown’s roads from 44 in 2002 (the first full year of the Dickybird operation) to 49, and then in 2004, a further amazing reduction to 58! So good were the statistics that this year the Daily Lost was able to put up a banner headline stating ‘road deaths down in Toytown’ even though there was sometime to go to the end of the year.
