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.

The kids really liked this one. Each chapter is a different short story, some we liked better than others. But still a cute, fun read aloud.

The little brown bear is an amazing story written by Enid Blyton.It is about a boy called Tony who loved bears.He even has four fake ones.One day he finds one in his garden shed.And loves him.

I think Tony is a great boy because has lots of imagination and a kind heart.I liked how the way tony found grunty.

Enid could work on adding a little bit more adjectives but there were lots of verbs.She also could add how grunty looked more.

I like how Tony treated Grunty with all its heart.Tony is a good boy with a warm heart.

this story is remarkable!!!!!!!!!!!!I would rate the store eight out of ten.Tony was really lucky to meet such a young and cute bear

This was always a favourite book of mine growing up. Something about the wide-eyed mysticism of the fictional heart-warming stories resonated with me and till this day still does. Although the fifteen short stories bluster through at brevity, each contains a clear message. Be it the importance of good manners of 'Hold Your Tongue' or the compassion of 'The Little Brown Bear', Blyton's mastery of engaging young minds is as present today as it ever was.

I receive this book on a long ago Christmas. That book whet my appetite to read more Enid Blyton short fairytales. Not short stories, but short fairytales. The style is as simple as telling a situation, a conflict, and how it’s resolved in the ending. I also enjoyed the fantasy of receiving a live bear cub for Christmas. Both the little boy and the cub have their own happy ending. Nice!
