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.

buku serial ini yang menemani masa masa puberku, huehehe...
bacaan paling fenomenal bagiku pada masa itu.
Selain ceritanya seru karna bisa ikut ikutan merasa ketakutan pas melalui lorong lorong bawah tanah, berharap cemas jangan sampai terlambat pas jam minum teh dan makan malam, bisa ngerasin betapa nikmatnya roti kue coklat, roti lapis daging dan jangan lupaaa....limun jahe,,,huahahahaha.....
yummi...
itulah hebatnya Enid Blyton menggambarkan nikmatnya menu2 wajib di serial Lima Sekawan ini dan kisah kisah misterius yang selalu menghampiri para "saudara Kirrin" ini..
Bacaan para anak2 pada jaman perang dunia ke-II tapi agak telat di terjemahkan dan masuk di indonesia, karna baru happening pas tahun 80-an.
waaa...jadi kuangeen....sama Georgina a.k.a George. karena aku merasa aku agak mirip dengan si gadis keras kepala ini. hihihi...

Revisiting my all time favorite series as a child. Rereading them as an adult not only takes just an hour or two, but it is also a nice 'breather' from your day.

A great kids series. I first read it twenty years ago(!?) and it's still fun to revisit.
