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.

This is such a cute book with loads of lovely Christmas stories I really enjoyed all the stories in this book. It’s was so festive and so beautifully written. I grow up reading books by Endi Blyton and this is one of her best books I have read. Some of the stories have really good meanings and messages behind them. It’s a book I will definitely pass down to my children. Xxx

This is a very cute book. I wanted some easy and short to read while I settled my kittens at night. Each story was just long enough to do so depending on their willingness.

The stories were well written and creative. Each one was extremely easy to read for a dyslexic adult so I'm sure children will also have a good time reading them.

DNF - As a teacher, this is an enjoyable book to read to your class. My class were eager to read the next story, as part of our reading advent calendar. However, I left this book at school following our final day and is not a book I would necessarily read on my own.
