Enid Blyton: A Biography

Rating:
Summary: AN EXCELLENT BIOGRAPHY OF A MISUNDERSTOOD WRITER
Review: Enid Blyton has been ridiculed by librarians worldwide. Fortunately those who matter - children - think otherwise and, judging by the way in which they react to her writing, love her. Barbra Stoney's biography of this children's author is insightful and extremely interesting, offering a detailed look at who Enid was and the manner in which she wrote. It is evident that events in her life had a profound effect on her writing. Her difficult relationship with her mother and the traumatic effect of her parent's divorce bear testimony to this.

An excellent read, if you can get a copy that is.
