Yesterday was Enid's birthday ...........one of the Best Children's author that the world will ever know was one of the 20th century's most successful story teller. There is no child who has NOT< been influenced by her numerous stories.
As small kids I remember my mother reading stories from 'the Noddy' series and a number of her Coloured Story book series 'The Red book', yellow , blue etc. The stories used to really make us enter the world of that Boy or Girl and all of them had a lesson and also made our imagination run wild .
When we started to read ourselves we would devour the "The Famous Five' The Five Find-outers' and 'The Secret seven' they sure made us want to go on an adventure solving mysteries at places where there was nothing and the best part were the yummy Picnic basket filled with loads of great goodies too but it basically also taught us to be fearless.
For those of us who never went to a hostel the famous' Malory Tower's''St Clare's' The Naughtiest Girl' series was really the Ultimate how they were up to pranks, bonding between friends and the midnight feasts they had were worth dying for. These were all things that made us jealous and made hostel life sound very exciting and enviable.
But the greatest thing to say about Enid Blyton is that after 30 years of my starting my association with her now my daughter who is four has started the same trend all over again as she enjoys NODDY ( the TV Cartoon also)and The Red Book etc.
So here's wishing the adorable creator of all these characters and who has nearly 800 books to her credit"Happy Birthday to you and May you live through your works live for ever and ever".
