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.

She is so naughty..She is always trying to annoy and make fun of her companion...

I loved it to some extent ..This is somewhat childish story but we all know we are kids from inside...

You should read it if you want to revive your childhood memories

Amelia keeps being naughty and doesn't learn her lesson. Review from Nina (age 5): Amelia Jane is really naughty, I enjoyed the book but I didn't enjoy when Amelia played with matches.

How could I not enjoy Amelia Jane stories. A classic from my childhood.

[Maria Carmo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Naughty Amelia Jane continues to be tiresome and as infuriating as ever! But a lot of funny adventures also end with her goodness of heart showing itself in good deeds.

I can't decide who enjoyed it more Evie (my daughter!) or me! I LOVES these books as a child and look forward to reading them to death... Again, with Evie :)

Am I the only person who thinks Amelia Jane is on the autism spectrum? Reading it as an adult I find it very disturbing, seeing a doll who can't behave properly for reasons that are not explored, and her peers pay her back with ostracism and cruelty. It's such an unhealthy social situation and approved of by the narrator. I feel like this book doesn't age well in a day and age when we would recognize such behavior as a cry for help and wouldn't condone punishing it the way the other "kind" toys do.

bro the ending of this where amelia jane is sent down the slippery dip and out of her home cos she thinks no one wants her or they personally evict her? actually really sad and i feel like it justifies bullying way too much

This book waspart of my childhood and this year I have set myself a challenge to reconnect with moreof the books that I loved when I was young. These books filled me with joy and memories and if you haven't read this then I would recommend.

Naughty Amelia Jane will always be a favourite of mine. I love the way Enid blyton writes of her mischief as well as her redeeming herself and the forgiveness of the other toys… well until next time!

[Alison Dean · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't think there can never be another Enid. Her books are still included in schools must read lists today. Another of my childhood favourites, the stories about doll, Amelia Jane, they were so funny. There was a character in one story called Mrs. Good Manners or something like that.

Like it and Amelia is so naughty.🙂

[Kylie Abecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sometimes you really feel for poor Amelia Jane and the situations she manages to get herself into. Other times you really want to reach into the pages and ring her neck!

[Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

More of the same kind of stories, except Amelia Jane seems less naughty towards the end.

[Elaine Mullane || Elaine and the Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

Revisiting the books of my youth out of a feeling of nostalgia! I loved Enid Blyton when I was younger and can't wait to re-read these with my own children.

[Carlota G Perez]

Mi libro más preciado de mi estantería.

[Lavinia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was very good, just like the previous book in the series. It wasn't exactly mischievous, but more curiosity behaviour. The first couple of times Amelia Jane is naughty, but the next she just gets too full of curiosity for her own good.

Very good book, but I have to say, not as good Enid's first one in the series.

[Undomiel Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

A greatly nostalgic story that I first read as a young child. Super fun and ideal for kids as not only is their mischief and adventure, but also a lesson to be learnt that keeps it safe for influential kids.

[Alvina · Rating 5 out of 5]

The first English novel I read when I was in grade 3 and it's just magnificent and funny. I'll thank Patricia for suggesting this book for me. I love it.

[Maddy · Rating 4 out of 5]
