Enid Mary Blyton (1897 - 1968) was an English author of children's books.

Born in South London, Blyton was the eldest of three children, and showed an early interest in music and reading. She was educated at St. Christopher's School, Beckenham, and - having decided not to pursue her music - at Ipswich High School, where she trained as a kindergarten teacher. She taught for five years before her 1924 marriage to editor Hugh Pollock, with whom she had two daughters. This marriage ended in divorce, and Blyton remarried in 1943, to surgeon Kenneth Fraser Darrell Waters. She died in 1968, one year after her second husband.

Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's.

According to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare.

All the kids have such specific character traits that you feel you know them all personally! Extremely engaging and a treasure in school vacations!

I loved this series - maybe not as exciting as The Famous Five but definitely more interesting than The Secret Seven. Bit of humour in this series.

These books are absolutely wonderful and have all the makings of the classics that they are. We discovered them on a 2015 trip to the UK, and although my girls (ages 8 and 10) have loved reading them, I think my husband and I have enjoyed them just as much. They are laugh-out-loud funny and very clever mysteries that also have a bit of a serious side. She had such a wonderful touch with creating crimes that are wrongdoings but not alarming or scary to children just the same. The characters of the Five Find-Outers -- and all those others they encounter -- are well done, likable (lovable, really) and amusing.

We will have these forever, because I can see that we might want to re-read them down the road, when each mystery's details become fuzzy in our minds. Some of the books' inside jokes have already become part of our family vernacular.

My 1st proper introduction to the world of pleasurable reading.
I would be no less than 10 years young when i git my hands on one of these, courtesy of a good friend of mine, who had bought it during a book fair in our school.
Eternally in debt to him for opening up this beautiful part of life.

One of Enid Blyton best books all around.
