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 I child, I was forced to read books. But Enid Blyton's books is really fun to read, for a kid. It broadens children's imagination. The next thing you know, you're hooked!

I enjoyed it. The illustrations are adorable and I think kids will love it as much as I do. I bought this book in a secondhand bookstore for like few cents and I'm so mad at my self because I didn't pick more.

Overall cute book for kids.

Very good stories again, in large print, lots of pictures. Not the very best of EB, that's why only 4 stars.

Didn't enjoy this one as much as her other short story collections for some reason. It didn't have quite as much charm as the others.

cant really rate it as i just read it as a palate cleanser after 1984, it has some cute stories with really good artwork and some funny old fashioned phrases.

Love this series very much when I was a kid. In fact, this book was my second Enid Blyton book. I remembered that I made my father buy all Enid Blyton's short stories with the word 'Rabbit' on the title . I'm not a native speaker, and this series had mad me and my little brother so engrossed in reading English materials during our elementary days. Now, I am wondering how could I utilize this to improve my students' English.

I got it for my son for his 5th birthday. He liked it alright but did not enjoy it as much as some of the other Enid Blyton books I have read to him.

not a big fan for this one. some stories is like an excuse for wrong-doing. one or two stories have a bad thing covered in thing that made it looks good.
