I have always loved reading – I used to sit in the corner of the playground reading Enid Blyton books when I was six. I loved escaping into her stories. I was a huge fan of the Secret Seven books in particular. I had four shelves crammed with her books at home, I would collect them from car boot sales and from book shops whenever I went on holiday. I wanted to have a copy of every book she wrote but never managed it… which isn’t surprising considering how many she wrote!
According to the Enid Blyton website she was the author of:
- 186 novels/novelettes
- 258 character books
- 947 short story series books
- 267 education books
- 214 recreation books
- 187 continuation books
- 284 contributions
