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.

The Tower in Ho-Ho Wood by Enid Blyton is a children book. The book is illustrated beautifully by Lesley Blackman. The book has 14 short stories. It's a perfect read for children. All the stories give some kind of message. I really enjoy reading it. It made me remember my childhood days when I also believe in prince and princess or magic. The author makes you laugh by her stories. My personal favorite is Susan Sweet and Sally Sour. This story hurt my stomach. It is perfect for 6-13 years old. But other ones can also enjoy it. It's a light read. The language is simple. I recommend it to all.

Enid Blyton is always a favourite in our house and this one was a big hit with kids who had me read one story called The Little Toy Farm several times and got them playing with their toy farm again, so that was a bonus as it meant the Kindle Fires went away........

I used to love the main story in this series "the tower in ho ho wood" . sort of a cinderalla story but In a simpler way. I just can't believe at that time I believed a child marrying a prince ! so naive was I same as we thought a mouse can befriend a cat .
