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.

As a kid I liked Enid Blyton, I read Noddy when I was just beginning to read, and later The Adventure series, but I haven’t opened up one of her books now for thirty years or so. That is until now when I stumbled across Mischief Again! that has a cat and a dog on front. That got me curious.
I’m clearly not in the target group for this book. It’s aimed at very young readers, and I passed that point decades ago. Blytons text is fairly typical for that kind of book. It may have its appeal to those that are beginning to read, but is rather annoying to anyone else. Despite that I liked this book.
Enid Blyton writes the text that combines this collection of photographs of a kitten (Tinker), a puppy (Floppy), a duckling and a horse into a story. Paul Kaye is the photographer, and he has done a very good job at capturing their cuteness. As often is the case with photo plays like this one, some of the pictures are better as part of a series than as stand-alones, but there are others that can work very well on their own. Some that are absolutely beautiful, the kitten licking a duckling, some of the interaction between the kitten and the puppy and so on. For the sake of these photos, I really like this book. There is at least one that I would like to have hanging on my wall.

Cute photographs of mischievous Tinker, the kitten, and his friend Floppy, the Spaniel puppy. Cameo appearances by a duckling and a horse.
Seems like many more children's books were illustrated with photographs when I was a child. The photographer for this book was Paul Kaye.
