Her poetry and her stories drew me as no other author had, and I could not get enough of her books. Thankfully, she wrote voraciously and the multiple series helped me develop an appreciation for different types of stories and poems. I still have some of my old Enid Blyton books and will occasionally still lift one from the shelves to indulge in a favorite childhood escape. The delight I find in her stories have not dimmed even as I have aged and moved on to more 'adult' books.This biography, based on research through interviews with members of her family, friends and employees in addition to extracts from surviving documents and diaries, have given me a glimpse into the woman behind the author. Her life was very different from what I had imagined for her. I had not known how much of a philanthropist she was, and how her efforts to aid various charities through her army of fans around the world resulted in some amazing donations and assistance. That she took the time to answer letters written to her by children even as she became more and more busy with her professional writing touched a chord in me. What a thrill it must have been for a child to receive a handwritten note from her answering their questions or thanking them for the dead bird they sent.I find it interesting that the critics of her works were from, and continue to come from adults, not the children who to this day, consume them by the millions. Perhaps these nosy and noisy adults should focus on the most important thing about Enid Blyton's books .... and that is, she's still, even now, getting children to read. And here's another thought, J.K Rowling has said in interviews that she grew up reading Enid Blyton books...and look how she's managed to entice children to read today.In reading this biography, I've come to love Enid Blyton for the woman she was, I thank her for giving me an outlet for my imagination to flourish and for building fantastical worlds filled with wizards, fairies, pixies, adventure, fun while imparting moral lessons to strengthen what my parents taught me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An incredible woman *by L***B on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2015* For me Enid Blyton was the wall-paper of my childhood. I loved her books and read more than I can count - but never really thought about her other than as a woman who wrote some great stories. But she was so much more.Reading this book gave me a huge and wonderful insight into this talented, tenacious and prolific author.I have gained insight into what drove Enid, into her personal story, and into the remarkable things she achieved in her lifetime.I thoroughly recommend this book not only for those who are familiar with Enid's work and love it but for those who have heard only of the controversy around her books, or indeed for any aspiring writer or anyone who wants a peak into a life of a truly prolific and successful author.She was an incredibly talented and hard worker and an amazingly inspiring woman. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a much more interesting woman than I expected *by H***F on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2014* Like most Americans, I was never exposed to Enid Blyton as a child. But after my marriage I traveled to India, where, no surprise, I discovered her boarding school books--St. Clare's and Mallory Towers. Blyton was incredibly prolific! It is no surprise to me to learn that her first marriage suffered because of her drive, nor that she was a less than perfect mother. She was fortunate to have been born at a time when domestic help liberated her from domestic duties.This book attempts at an even-handed look at Blyton. It includes several appendices, which critique the subject more bluntly than the author wished to do. The tale of Blyton's life ends on a happy note (to me), and I am glad I read the book to the very end. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/33228922-enid-blyton-the-biography](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/33228922-enid-blyton-the-biography) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
