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.

My favourite author during childhood. l loved reading Enid Blyton’s books. The cover page of the books I read are still fresh in my memory even after giving them away.

another book with no fairies in it but it does include pixies which are close enough. "make haste and be carefull" is the best story within the book that I liked. slow and steady gets the work done. a lesson children need to learn early on and will benefit them on the long run.

There's something magical about reading Enid Blyton's book filled with stories of gnomes, pixies and elves. Each story in this book is filled with lessons that both children and adults can learn from.
I enjoyed re-reading this copy of Enid Blyton as it brought me back to my childhood days where everything is much simpler.
