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 short lived series is my absolute favourite work of Blyton's. The sea-island settings are really colourful and atmospheric, whilst the darker villains allow for heightened tension and scarier scenes. In this expanded story - not expanded by much I must say, it's pretty short other than one randomly protracted scene in which the children fashion a torch out of some cooking fat - the children find themselves up against high-tech spies with sophisticated 1950's gadgets. A nice and quick read, 4 stars.

Outdated, but the kids and work enjoyed sections of it. Had to...re-adjust parts of it when reading to them.

another great read (apart from the weak female characters).
