March 21, 2008 Shyamashree Sen says... Wonderful site. Loved seeing the illustrations and the book covers. Reminds me of my childhood. I have been collecting Enid Blyton's books for my kids. Now they are grown ups but we want to preserve the books for posterity...

March 6, 2008 Janet Lettrich says... As a child, I repeatedly checked out books from the adventure series from our local library. I read my favorites over and over. When I had my own children, I sent to England for copies of the books, and my oldest daughter enjoyed them as much as I did. Now they are waiting to be enjoyed by my grandchildren! And I admit to re-reading one now and again my self! Thank you for a wonderful website.

February 26, 2008 John Svid says... Wow great site! Some really helpful information there. I’m sorry for little off-topic, but I want to ask you about design of this site. Did you make this template yourself or got from any templates website? Looks pretty cool for me. Wonderful well this reading.

February 19, 2008 Helen Rattray says... It was great to visit your site and catch up on "my childhood"! I grew up reading Enid Blyton's books and they were always my top request for birthday & Christmas presents. After I started work I added to my collection as my sister & I were both collecting and our main sets were separated when we left home. My favourite series were Famous Five (of course!!), the Barney series & the Adventure series, however I also enjoy many of my stand-alone titles. During school holidays I love nothing better than to pull these stories from my shelves & re-read them over again. I enjoyed taking the polls and reading the results. Thanks, Heather, for a terrific site.

February 9, 2008 Mehak says... I think your site is quite good.Could you tell me how to get the book 'Up the Faraway Tree'? Heather (site owner) says: It is a very difficult book to find - try Ebay.

January 30, 2008 Miranda says... Anyon Cook was a she not a he ! Married to an artist Frederick cook and they lived in Polperro ,Cornwall. She died a few years ago. One of the "glossys" did a report on her shortly after her death, as i think she did fashion illustrations?? Heather (site owner) says: Really??! It is so hard when researching these more 'minor' illustrators - I can often find a list of books they illustrated, but little biographical information. As I know some male Anyons I took a guess. Thank you, I'll update the page.

January 10, 2008 Ming says... A belated Happy New Year, Heather - any plans for a belated new year update? :-) Heather (site owner) says: :-) I am finally getting around to an update. Should be up today.

January 1, 2008 Mohamed says... Hey Heather! Long time no see! A very happy new year to you and to all Blyton fans! Heather (site owner) says: Thanks, Mohamed. :-)

December 4, 2007 francesca says... It's so fantastic to find so much good stuff dedicated to Enid Blyton on the net. I'm thrilled by this and the sites that led me here. Keep up the brilliant work, love it!

November 30, 2007 Fiona B says... Your description of the person most likely to visit this site is me! I can honestly say those are the answers I would have given to those polls. This is a wonderful site, and along with Keith's have given me almost a week's worth of solid and interesting reading. Reading reviews and trivia on the sites has also prompted me to re-read some of my collection yet again. I have around 100 books, all pre-1970 cloth covered books, some I have inherited from my Mum and aunts - those I have read 20 or 30 times! The rest I have picked up on eBay and in charity shops but I have still managed to read these more than once each! Again, well done on your jolly marvelous site!

November 17, 2007 raani says... does anybody know any good quotes from "the magic faraway tree"?

October 31, 2007 james napper says... i.have in my posession the big enid blyton book, 1965. inside on page 10 is a hand written letter to mrs blyton, which is interesting. i,ll quote the first paragraph "dear mrs blyton, herewith i have the honour to present to you in pictures, little noddy, big ears, mr and mrs tubby, and some other characters from your stories, which reached me through messrs [i think] sampson low.some days ago," there is aline of ten or so of these characters, along the top of the letter, and a picture of what appears to be a golliwog holding a card saying with compliments, and the end of the name looks like its dutch, last two words being van loek, and signature at end of letter appears to be mrs lbe, the letter goes on for a lot longer, and it seems the characters,are here before mrs blyton put them in her books, can any one shed any light on this. Heather (site owner) says: Yes, this letter was reprinted in The Big Enid Blyton Book as you say. I have a copy of it myself. It is a lovely letter from Harmsen Van der Beek to Enid to introduce the artwork he had created for the Noddy characters. You can read more on my own Illustrator Pages, or at Wikipedia Of course, we all know from there that Enid chose him as the first Noddy illustrator. It is a lovely book - you are priveliged to own a copy.

October 22, 2007 denishree says... i came looking for enid blyton books :)

October 18, 2007 Anonymous says... Enid Blyton is soooooooo....'high up writer ' .

September 10, 2007 likopinko says... Hi Very good site. Thanks for author! Bye

September 8, 2007 deborah stephens says... Can someone please tell me what happened to Gillian Baverstock?I have just heard that she has passed away. This is another great loss to Blyton fans! Heather (site owner) says: Yes, Gillian did pass away recently. Do a search from my home page for "Gillian Baverstock" and you will find links to some of the newspaper articles about this.

August 22, 2007 farah alia nordin says... I loves Enid Blyton's collections so much. and now I'm in the process of collecting them all.

August 1, 2007 Michelle cantliff says... Absolutely loved the enid Blyton books and read as many as i could from a very early age. I read first year at Mallory towers when i started at high school!!!!! Brought my own children up to read Enid's books too... and they are doing the same with their children. Thanks to Ms Blyton for all those happy hours we have spent reading her books!! my all time favourite by the way was Hollow Tree House!!!!!!!!!!!

July 26, 2007 khadija says... story have made by myself can i send it to you and if yes please can you email me. waiting for your reply Heather (site owner) says: Yes, you can send it to me. I have a fan page, and if it seems to fit with Enid Blyton's writing I may publish it.

July 26, 2007 Ming says... Oh wow, the site has been updated!! Yipee!! (Not a very Blyton-like exclamation!) :-D Heather, the new weblinks are great, as always! And it was lovely to see pictures of Marjorie Davies and some of her illustrations!

July 26, 2007 Heather (Site Owner) says... Something strange happened with the guestbook admin yesterday, and some messages have disappeared into cyberspace. Apologies to those who posted - please feel free to send another message.

July 23, 2007 khadija says... i have already gave my comments i just wanted to ask that can i take part as a member in enid blytons society and can you tell me what it does and is it free? Heather (site owner) says: You can post at the Enid Blyton Society forums for free, but if you want to join as a member you'll need to pay. If you become a member you will receive three journals per year and have access to extra areas on the website. The subscription information and pricing is The Enid Blyton Society Forums.

June 24, 2007 Lisa says... Hello Heather, do you have any suggestion why Enid Blyton never became popular in the US as for example Roald Dahl? Thanks for the answer! Greetings from Germany Lisa Heather (site owner) says: Hi. I'm sorry, but I have no idea why Enid was never popular in the US. However, she did win her only literary award there, for Mystery Island (the US print of The Island of Adventure)..

June 23, 2007 jane says... hi i also im collecting enid blyton books for my son i used to read them when i was a kid ive looked everwhere on the net to download enid blyton books ive only found a few if you know of anywhere please would you email me thanks Heather (site owner) says: Enid Blyton books are still under copyright, so they're not really supposed to be on the internet, however several have made their way onto esnips.com

June 21, 2007 Fiona says... Wonderful website, Heather! I've spent quite a lot of time browsing through the pages and I have REALLY enjoyed "A Spot of Fun" page. I was nearly in fits of laughter! I loved Enid's books as a child and I remember my favorite books were probably the Magic Faraway Tree and the Wishing Chair ones. I never had time for The Famous Five and other mystery/adventure series - probably because I was addicted to fantasy! If you have enjoyed reading the Magic Farway Tree books I'm sure you will enjoy the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis, Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander and of course the Harry Poter series by Jo Rowling. PS: I'm rather touched by your "personal beliefs" page. Heather (site owner) says: Thank you, Fiona. It's nice to hear from you. I'm glad you liked my beliefs page - it's a rather large part of my life. I do love the Narnia books too, but I'm not so keen on Harry Potter. I've never heard of the Chronicles of Prydain - I'll have too look them up.

June 3, 2007 Rachel says... I love Enid Blyton so this is a good site for me

May 11, 2007 Jane Moore says... Heather I'm so excited to find your website and discover how much of a fan you are of Enid Blyton. I'm from Adelaide S.Aust. now living in Las Vegas. I'm not sure what it was that brought the memory of reading The Magic Faraway Tree but I decided to try and track it down for my nephews and nieces. I read that you had been introduced to the books as a child of six as was I, and found them to be a comfort I can identify with that too. I just purchased a copy of The magic Faraway Tree and was so delited to flick through the pages and see all the pictures of the children and Moon face etc the memories just came flooding back it was wonderful. I think I too will be come a collector of these fine books. I had not realized there were other series of Enid Blyton books. Thanks for your web site. Regards Jane

April 30, 2007 Ming says... Am more than a month late with this, but Heather, the new page "Blytonian Happenings" is great. I was rather interested about the Rude Mechanical Theatre Company, but was put off at the mention of ".... is aimed at adults." Anyway, what made you think of the page? It is a great idea, and I'm sure I couldn't think of it if I thought for a month! Heather (site owner) says: Thanks, Ming. I thought of the page when one of my contributors had an event that he wanted to publicise through my site. I do need to update that particular page, actually, so thanks for reminding me.

April 30, 2007 Sanojaa Thiyagarajah says... This website is wonderful. It gives a great source of information to thousands of Enid Blyton fans. Well Done Heather

April 9, 2007 Baya says... hey...was enid blyton as rich as jk rowling in her days?? ps, jk rowling is a billioaire.....love & kisses, baya Heather (site owner) says: I don't think so, but I'm not an expert on the subject.

April 8, 2007 Mohamed says... Heather, since I edit wikipedia, I want to improve the enid blyton article in the encyclopedia. can i upload enid's picture on your front page in wikipedia. the article looks quite dull without her picture! thanks!!! Love, Mohamed Heather (site owner) says: I have no problem with that. Have fun editing.

April 6, 2007 Muriel says... I just happened on this site today. I'm quite thrilled about it and would like to correspond with other Blyton fans. Heather (site owner) says: You could try visiting The Enid Blyton Society Forums where lots of Blytonites hang out.

April 2, 2007 Des says... Delightful site, Heather! You and Keith deserve medals for services to EB fandom - it's obviously a labour of love. I especially enjoyed your illustrators section (Tresilian is my favourite children's artist ever) and I loved the pics of your collection. Your shelves look amazingly like mine. When I started collecting children's adventure series again as an adult (EB, Hardys, Nancy Drew, Malcolm Saville) I visited my folks' home hoping to find some. But my elder siblings had beaten me to it, so I had to start from scratch. I mainly collect 50s and 60s Adventure, SS and FF in hardback with dust jackets like my siblings owned, but can't resist the Armada pbacks too which were all I could afford as a kid. I have quite a collection now and am always on the lookout for better copies. Heather (site owner) says: Thank you so much for your high praise! It sounds like your collection is lovely - keep it up!

March 30, 2007 Prem Gurnani says... I absolutely adore the illustrations in some of her books of the 40's and 50's. Some of the original art work for the Adventure series appeared at a Sotheby's auction about 10 years ago. Is there any other art work about for purchase? Thanks Heather (site owner) says: I'm sorry, Prem - I don't know about artwork that could be purchased. There was some put up for auction last year by Enid's daughters, but other than that you could try doing a search for the particular artist's name that you're interested in.

March 29, 2007 Baya says... nice site, heather....intresting to read about yr childhood. did yr website start as a freewebas site: http://www.freewebs.com/blyton/?? Heather (site owner) says: Yes, my site did begin as a freewebs site at that address before Keith of White Oak Design helped me out with setting up my new website.

March 18, 2007 Mohamed says... Hi Heather! I hope u remember me. I'm back...and it feels so good seeing yr website. It is really wonderful to see my Blyton article on display, and im so glad that blyton fans all over the world can read it!!!

March 8, 2007 Rachel says... Hiya im back again Heather!! Really gd site!! keep it up!! Added anything new recently?? rachel x

February 27, 2007 Editha says... from where did enid get ideas for thousands of stories??? Heather (site owner) says: Her extremely fertile imagination! Many of the stories were also set in real places, and some included real people, animals or toys.

February 20, 2007 Ida Goodworth says... The weblinks were gr8. I'm rather interested in the madonna-blyton incidence. have u got more information, heather Heather (site owner) says: I do have a couple of weblinks on the subject - type "madonna" into my Google site search (on the home page) and you should come up with something. Most of the other articles around just repeated what was there already. You could also try a normal web search for the words "madonna" and "blyton", which may get you more information.

February 19, 2007 Daphne says... Hi Heather! Your site is very good. My website is www.freewebs.com/enidblytonfans. Actually I'm age less than 14 but my class call me the computer whizz. Heather (site owner) says: Hi, Daphne. I've added your link to my weblinks section.

February 19, 2007 Mamie says... really enjoyed yr site...very interested to know that from where you got those photos in the photo album section...were they scanned from blyton's autobiography...? keep up the GOOD work!!!! Love, Mam Heather (site owner) says: The photographs are from various sources, mostly biographies and autobiographies, and also web sources.

February 16, 2007 Rachel says... hello again, Wow Ellie, Your site is very intersting and is very indiviual, keep up the good work like Heather says! rachel xx

February 13, 2007 ellie says... Hello, i am twelve years old and I am a big Enid Blyton lover. Since the age of six I have delved into the Famous Five to have a read about what latest fix the five have got themselves into: well, they have managed to do everything I have longed to do, really! For my website, its www.books-my-world.piczo.com please go on it and also any other enid fans out there X Heather (site owner) says: Hi, Ellie. It's lovely to see a fan site from a young person with original content. I've added it to my weblinks section. Keep up the good work!

February 1, 2007 rachel says... hiya again Heather, Ok thanks for tellin me what the famous five series is going to be about. It doesnt sound very good as they are ripping enid blyton off and i dont agree with any of this sexist stuff althought i do think she can be abit racest at times. Anyway thanks again, i probably will watch this new series if it ever comes on telly but i will always stick with the books they are by far the best! rachel xx

January 28, 2007 Nitya says... Hey! Thanks Claire J!!!!!!

January 22, 2007 claire j says... Hi. In response to Nitya's question on 10th Jan, the book which you are looking for is Five On Kirrin Island Again. Dick says he should give Joanna the OBCBE - Order of the Best Cooks of the British Empire. I am new to this site and I think it's absolutely fab! My teacher used to read us the Famous Five books every afternoon at primary school and I loved it. I still read them all the time now. I'm collecting Enid Blyton books for my daughter when she's old enough to read them. I hope she'll enjoy them as much as me. Once again, an amazing website. Thank you.

January 19, 2007 spoorti says... Hi,I'm new to this site and I loved it. I like the photo albums and bits of Blytonia. I have doubt, are by any chance Enid Blyton's relative? Heather (site owner) says: No I'm not a relative, Spoorti, just a collector and fan.

January 18, 2007 Rachel says... heya again Heather. Is there really a new famouse five film coming out soon? Wow that wud be good but i prefer the books! anyway cya bye xxx Heather (site owner) says: It's not a Famous Five film, but an animated television series. You can read the news story about it here.

January 10, 2007 Minnu says... Hi Heather! I want to talk to you about many things. But don't know what to begin with. Anyway, I was very happy to see my name displayed on GUEST BOOK. Then another thing, Mithun (who asked you about films on Blyton books) is my brother. OK, If U R reading this at night, 'Good night'.

January 10, 2007 Nitya says... Hi Heather, I am back again and this time with another doubt(Please let me know if I am bothering you with my doubts but your site is the only one that answers questions on Enid Blyton).....In which book does Dick call Joanna something like "The Best Cook In The British Empire" or something like that?? I am reallly sorry if I am troubling you. I'm really sorry............... Heather (site owner) says: I'm not sure what book that is, Nitya. If you have any questions about Enid Blyton or her books, a good place to ask is the Enid Blyton Society Forum.

January 8, 2007 Lee says... Hi Heather. Long time, no speak. I came across your website addy on the Society webpage and thought.....I wonder if that's the same Heather. Not only was I totally delighted that it was, but equally delighted with your site. Quite a few of those photos I havent seen. I loved the photos of your collection and wouldnt mind some of those myself. As you probably know Ive been AWOL for about 2 years now. Its lovely to see you again and my heartiest congrats on an interesting and something different website. Software company hey..... ciao for now. Oldbookfan. Heather (site owner) says: Hi again! Yes, it's been ages! I'll email you separately.

January 7, 2007 Rachel says... I am back again Heather because i was trying to find a bit more about enid blyton. Out of all the Enid Blyton websites, yours is by far the best and gives me lots more information about her. You will be happy to know that recently i have just bought a new first edition Enid Blyton book, its one of my favourite "the put-em-rights". I really enjoy reading that book! Have you read it? Whose house/cottage is that picture of? Anyway lovely to see this website again, hope you reply! Rachel.xxxx Heather (site owner) says: Contgratulations on finding a first edition! Yes, I did enjoy the book, although I found it a little "preachy" in places. If you mean the picture of the cottage at the top of my website, that's Old Thatch, a home that once belonged to Enid. Keith Robinson of White Oak Design designed that header for me.

January 5, 2007 Mithun says... Dear Heather, I think yours is a wonderful site. I have a small doubt. Do you if know any films are there based on Blyton films? If so,can u please tell? Anyway,forget that.Thanks for your site. Bye... Heather (site owner) says: Hi, Mithun. For a moment I wasn't sure whether I should answer your question or "forget" it. Just in case you did want an answer: There have been several television adaptations based on Enid's books, but to my knowledge, no films. If anybody knows of a film, please let me know. The Famous Five was adapted for television, as was the Adventure series and the Secret series, among others. There have also been several animated series - Noddy and the Magic Faraway Tree are probably the most well known. A new animated series (very loosely) based on the Famous Five is in the works at the moment.

January 4, 2007 Nitya says... Heather I am sorry to say but none of your weblinks open when I click on them.......... Heather (site owner) says: Nitya, I'm sorry, I don't know what the problem is. Most likely your internet connection was temporarily down. I hope it's resolved for you!

January 3, 2007 Minnu says... Heather, really thanks for this site. I have loved knowing more about Blyton & a little about u! Heather (site owner) says: Thank you, Minnu. I'm back from holiday now, and hoping to get another update done very soon!

December 22, 2006 PeterPan says... Heather, A very Merry Christmas and a Happy NewYear for you and your family.God bless you! Heather (site owner) says: Thank you. Merry Christmas to you too.

December 17, 2006 PeterPan says... Huurrray!!! I'm in down under!!!! Am I really? Nice to know something about your personal beliefs.

December 7, 2006 Ming says... Thanks Heather!!

December 6, 2006 Ming says... Gosh, Heather, how in the world do you find all these links?! It must take up a lot of time! Excellent job! But I have a question, why don't I sometimes get emails about updates? I always got them until a new photagraph was added to the album. I entered my mail in the "Be notified of updates by email" again thinking it was just a glitch. I was notified of the next update, when you added the ebooks link. Today I searched the weblinks according to dates added and I found some more new links. But I didn't get an email. Can you please give me an idea of what to do? Thanks Heather (site owner) says: Hi, Ming. I occasionally don't send out an email when only a link or two are added (unless of course it's a very important one). I'm very conscious of not overloading peoples' inboxes - I know how much I hate receiving constant updates about things! Your email address is definitely in the list, so whenever an email goes out you will receive it.

December 01, 2006 Mary Smith says... Hi,Blyton fans!!! This site is good and i loved the poles. Unfortunately, I found this website too late,otherwise,i would have voted for the first set of poles. Blyton's childhood photos are very nice and the page SPOT OF FUN is very good.thank u for this site.......

November 29, 2006 Jools says... Hi Heather Thank you so much for this wonderful site. My first visit, but not my last.

November 19, 2006 Ming says... Poor Heather, you've lost your Aunt Enid, couldn't even see her. Poor Heather, aren't you sorry for yourself? *sniff* ;-)

November 16, 2006 Hari Menon says... After reading a recent comment I did a quick double-take and checked whether your site's called Heather Blyton's Pages rather than Heather's Blyton Pages! Heather (site owner) says: I think that's confused a few people. Oh well, I don't mind being "related". Perhaps I could start calling her "Aunt Enid"!

November 15, 2006 Mohamed says... Hi Jenny Moon! Even I would love to see the scans of the school reports if you don't mind! My e-mail is, madnijulian@yahoo.com. PS: Heather, the new photo of Enid was brilliant, but it was too blurry! Heather (site owner) says: The photograph I scanned was blurry to begin with. It wasn't printed very well on the back of the "Little Books". At least, my copy wasn't! It's a very old book, and perhaps the printing methods they used weren't very good.

November 13, 2006 Cheryl says... I have just started my collection. Sorry to say it took me to long to find Enid Blyton. I like others get so excited when I find another book of hers I haven't read. Love also to have found you!!

November 11, 2006 Ming says... To Jenny Moon: Hey Jenny could you please email me scans of the school report by Enid Blyton? Email me at mingmingkhan@gmail.com

November 11, 2006 MELLISSA AND JUDITH RUTLEDGE says... THIS SITE WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! WE FOUND IT REALLY INTERESTING AND FASCINATING!

November 11, 2006 Rachel says... oh yes i relized your not related to Enid are you i misunderstood the title of your website. But wouldent it be good to be related to someone like Enid i am glad some one still reads her books except my self. I am a very strong fan of her just like you. Rachel xxxx

November 10, 2006 Rachel says... It is a very good website and Heather you should be over the moon to be related to someone like Enid Blyton, she is absouletly amazing. I love all of her boooks i just wish she was still writing them now. Heather (site owner) says: I'm not actually related to Enid, just a collector and fan. But I agree, she was absolutely amazing.

November 9, 2006 Shreya says... Thank you Heather!!! Heather (site owner) says: No problems. There's now also an explanation on the guestbook posting page too.

November 3, 2006 Shreya says... Hi Heather!!! This site is really good(I know that I mentioned it before,but I can't help praising it!!).I hope I am not bothering you with my silly question but please answer it.How is that ANTI SPAM question going to help? What if it's the right answer,What if it's the wrong answer??I am very sorry but I badly want to know it!! Heather (site owner) says: Hi, Shreya. That's fine, it's a fair question. I was getting hundreds of spam guestbook entries that nobody saw but me. I was spending far too long deleting them, so Keith Robinson of White Oak Design very helpfully wrote me some code to stop them. So far it seems to have worked, because I am no longer getting spam! If you answer the spam question wrong, or don't answer it at all, you will get a little page telling you to go back and try again. The message won't get to me until the question is answered correctly.

November 1, 2006 Ming says... I've noticed something really strange recently in the Wikipedia article I told you of. The "Honours" content has been renamed "Statistics" and 600 million copies has been changed to 400 million. And at first there was written "Her Noddy books helped her to earn more than 100,00 pounds a year" but now this has been deleted completely. And there was one part which said Enid Blyton was the fifth in the "Index Translationum" but now this is also not there. Stupid stuff, all these changes, just winds people up!

October 30, 2006 Keith Robinson says... In answer to Green_Monkey23's post on October 12, I have a copy of Opera on Windows and it works fine. The problem you're experiencing is most likely caused by your firewall -- Norton or whatever you're using. Switch off your firewall temporarily, and try viewing the site then. The firewall is stripping the page of all the image code, which it thinks is being helpful to you in some way! Hopefully this will solve the problem?

October 12, 2006 Green_Monkey23 says... Sorry for your time.... Why i can't see images on this resource? My Browser is: Opera. Thank you. Heather (site owner) says: I'm sorry, I'm not sure why the images aren't coming through for you. According to my statistics, almost all visitors to my website use Windows, and either Internet Explorer or Firefox, so those are the two browsers I test in. Although a few use some other browsers and operating systems, I unfortunately don't have the time to test every page in every browser and I don't own a Mac so I can't test on that either. I apologise to you, and to others who may not be able to view my page, but unfortunately it's not possible to please all people all the time.

October 12, 2006 Maria, from 'Blyton' says... Well done, all you 'Blyton' people, for writing such marvellous posts!

October 3, 2006 Mariooshka from the UAE says... First of all, I must say that this is a brilliant website. My name is Mariooshka and I am from the united arab emirates. it feels so nice, by seeing so many websites dedicated to my favorite author. I have over 80 arabic editons of her books and my favorite are the famous five! Please, could you translate this website into arabic, because I had a little difficulty reading since my english is not very good!! thanks!!!!! :) :) Heather (site owner) says: I'm sorry, the translator on my site has only set languages it translates to, and Arabic isn't one of them. You could try going to the SYSTRAN website and entering the URL of the page you wish to translate, then select "English to Arabic".

October 3, 2006 Brenda Van-Der-Stein says... Hi Heather i have always been a Big fan of Enid Blyton, I'm now in my 50s and still get excited when i find another book to collect. One of my favorites was Amelia Jane, in fact I named my first grandaughter Amelia Jane, and now I'm collecting all the books for her to read to her and enjoy again. Keep up the good work. Heather (site owner) says: Lovely to meet you, Brenda. I hope your granddaughter enjoys the books as much as you do.

October 1, 2006 Mary says... hey! i don't know who posted all those messages asking for an apology.somebody just put my name and started writing apologies. i never asked for an apology. mary(the one who posted false messages),stop pretending to be me. heather,..i just pointed out the truth..your site doesn't have visitors......... i don't want people forgiving me because i haven't made any mistake pointing out the truth........ Heather (site owner) says: Well, I don't know who's decided to pretend to be you, Mary, but I momentarily l thought that you may have learnt some manners. I think I've been patient enough - this will be the last time I'll approve any guestbook posts from you, or anybody pretending to be you, unless they are a little more constructive.

September 26, 2006 robyn morton says... i think ya books are boss your my best bestest story writer from robyn your biggest fan plase write back.this is a great page by the way do jaquline wilson next please.............. Heather (site owner) says: Thank you, Robyn - and I'm sure Enid would have thanked you too. I have never read a Jaqueline Wilson book, so it's unlikely I'll extend my website to include them.

September 25, 2006 reinimat says... For what I have seen, this site is not bad at all.

September 24, 2006 deb stephens says... What a wonderful site Heather! Always something new to find! I printed out your Blyton Badges- so nice! Lovely to see my Blyton bookcase still on display, such a thrill to share it with all the Blyton fans around the world! A new Noddy Annual is about to hit the bookshops! Hardback too! Cheers, Deb

September 21, 2006 Ming says... Good mind reading! Yes I was very impatient and all the more because my family ran after me each day asking whether that poem has been displayed. I was beginning to get tired of that and at last in desperation, asked you about it! :-) Heather (site owner) says: No problem. You'll be happy to know I'm working on the update at the moment and it should be up sometime today or tomorrow.

September 19, 2006 Ming says... Heather when will you update this site again? It's a bit disappointing to see such a good site showing the same things for along time! Please update it! Heather (site owner) says: Ming, I update my site when there is enough relevant information to warrant it. And yes, when I do the next one your poem will be up there too - in case that was why you were so anxious for an update ;-)

September 16, 2006 Ming says... That Spot of Fun page was a success! My friends loved it and I showed them to two of my teachers who were getting annoyed with us (goodness knows why). They laughed out loud in the middle of the class and forgot all their anger! It was a lifesaver for soon the whole class would have been sent to the vice principal for bad behaiviour. It was a narrow escape for us *sigh with relief* Lovely site Heather! Heather (site owner) says: That sounds exactly like a scene from Malory Towers! I'm so glad it was helpful - and in such an unexpected manner!

September 13, 2006 Mohamed says... Thanks Ming! 600 million copies! Wow!!!

September 11, 2006 Ming says... Reply to Mohammed's message on August 30. I searched the web and found an article on Enid Blyton in Wikipedia. In the "Honours" content it says that her books have sold more than 600 million copies. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enid_Blyton for more information. Good Luck!

September 10, 2006 Ming says... Hello Heather. Your Spot of Fun page is so good that when I told my friends about it, they requested me to print out that page and bring it to school! I printed it out just now and am waiting for the next day. No doubt it will be a great success with everyone! Good Luck!

September 8, 2006 Hari Menon says... Hi again, Heather... many months ago, someone wondered about the languages represented by the flags at the bottom of your page. They are Chinese, German, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, in that order from left to right. But don't rely too much on Babel Fish! I clicked on the Italian flag, and I saw that Bets has been translated as "scommesse", which refers to the bets one places on horses or in casinos. Pip has become "seme", which means seed. "Old chap" has been rendered as "vecchia screpolatura". Vecchia is old all right, but screpolatura sounds suspiciously like the cracks and wrinkles you see on dry skin. I should get around to doing a Babel Fish-inspired Italian version of Blyton someday. It should make for some interesting, if not exactly inspiring, effects. :) Heather (site owner) says: That would be hilarious, Hari, I'm sure. I'm looking forward to seeing your "translations". I know Babelfish isn't perfect (well, actually it's often not even close), but I figured that to somebody who speaks little or no English they may at least be a help. Since I've now had visitors from 75 separate countries, this website is somewhat multicultural!

September 8, 2006 Hari Menon says... Hi Heather, I just got around to checking your guestbook. I can't believe I missed coming in here! And Shreya, thank you for the kind words. But as Heather said, it's one thing to write a 400-word "chapter" and quite another to keep at it till a book is ready! I'll continue to contribute though -- if Heather agrees to publish what I write. ;) Heather (site owner) says: I can't believe you've missed it either, Hari - where have you been all this time? Of course I'll publish you! How could I not when everything you write has me almost rolling on the floor laughing? Your comedic talent and incredible imagination continually amazes me.

September 6, 2006 Steve Markham says... Hi again, Heather. I love the polls and found your notes on the 'average visitor' very interesting indeed. It just about describes me (except that I'm slightly older than the average 40!!) When I took part in the polls I was amazed that so many others had agreed with my answers. Can't wait for the next set. Keep up the great work. Best Regards, Steve

September 6, 2006 Ming says... Ei website ta khub sunder ebong mojar. Do you know what that means Heather? It means this website is very nice and interesting in Bangla (my mother tongue). I love this place! Heather (site owner) says: I certainly didn't know what it meant, until your explanation. But thank you for sharing your Bangla with us.

September 5, 2006 Shreya says... Hello Heather! Will there be another chapter in the Mystery of the Trendy Togs by Hari Menon? It was too good. I enjoyed it. Very imaginitive of you to have thought of a page where you could have fun!! Heather (site owner) says: Thanks, Shreya. And I've let Hari know of your comments too! His pieces are always priceless, and I love providing a forum to share them. Although he's often pressed to write more, he's very short on time - but let's hope he will continue the Mystery at some point.

September 5, 2006 Asikosoru says... Hello! Very nice site! Thank you!

September 5, 2006 Ming says... Hie Heather! I've just seen the story Lal has an Adventure of the book Children of other lands. The Indian villages Blyton described there is exactly like our villages in Bangladesh. It is very hot, too much rain in the rainy season, mostly wheat and paddy grown; it's just like our villages. Lovely places but toooo hot! Heather (site owner) says: Thanks, Ming - and congratulations on being my first (and so far only) visitor from Bangladesh! I wish I had a lucky door prize for you.

September 4, 2006 Williams says... Surely, Jean Smith couldn't have seen EB walking down the road?!! HOW LUCKY!!!! I wish she was still alive. If it hadn't been my 3 standard teacher who told me to read EB books, I would have had a really dull life. Thanks to EB for writing such wonderful books! Never did Ifeel so happy as I did when I read the Famous Five or the Find-outers.........

September 3, 2006 jean smith says... Very interesting, Web Site. Point of interest, I used to work at Darrell Waters Limited which dealt with all the rights to Enid's books, etc and the boss was a director on the board. I saw Enid once when I went to the Stoll Theatre in London to see 'Noddy' the lad who played him Bunny May used to go to my Sunday School and Junior School ! I also pass the place where Enid was born in Lordship Lane, on my way to work each day ! As a child I was a great fan and I still read some of my books which I still have to my grandchildren ! I still have the first Enid Blyton Magazine Annual from the early 1950's Heather (site owner) says: Very interesting, Jean, and how wonderful to have seen the original Noddy play!

September 2, 2006 Ming says... Hie Heather! I love this site of yours. It's interesting, exciting, in fact as Darrell's sister Felicity would say, smashing! I especially like the photographs. Good Luck!

September 1, 2006 Williams says... I like the site very much. It's good,well planned and most importantly very informative! I've heard that Enid Blyton wrote 50000 words a day. Is that true? I love voting and I've read that many others like too! be back soon! Heather (site owner) says: Hi! Thank you for your kind words. Enid was very prolific indeed with her writing, but I think it's been said that she could write up to about 10,000 words per day. Still, an amazing feat!

August 31, 2006 Nigel Rowe says... Keith, what's wrong with My Space? I have a page there, of which I was quite pleased! ;-) Heather, as I've said before, a great site :-)

August 30, 2006 Mohamed says... Heather, can you please let me know that in how many copies have Enid Blyton's books been sold in? I badly want to know that. Some sources say that it is 60 million, 200 million while the Chorion says that it is 400 million! Could you tell me that which one is correct. I will indeed be very, very grateful. Warm wishes, Mohamed Heather (site owner) says: Sorry, Mohamed. I really have no idea. I noticed you also asked the same question on the forums, and unfortunately if they don't know it's unlikely anybody does! It becomes especially difficult to quantify because Enid's books are printed by many different publishers in a huge number of countries and languages.

August 29, 2006 Sheila says... Hello, good website and nice polls. I am quite young and I don't know the meaning of sexist. Could you tell me? Thank you. Sheila Heather (site owner) says: Sexist is anything that discriminates against one gender - either male or female, but most commonly female. For example, Anne always washing the dishes in the Famous Five, or the girls being left out of night time adventures in the Secret Seven could be described by some people as 'sexist'. For further information, see this Wikepedia article

August 28, 2006 Mary says... Heather,Thanks a lot for forgiving me. I never thought you would. Do you think you can ask Keith,Elizabeth and Ruhana to forgive me.(August 22,23,24)?? I would feel really very happy. The page Bits of Blytonia is excellent. I am not saying this just to rub up my bad comment. It is truly excellent. I would feel really very happy. Heather (site owner) says: That's fine, Mary - I'm sure they have no problems with you at all. And thank you again for being such a regular visitor. Now let's all move back to Blytonia where everybody lives in harmony!

August 26, 2006 Teresa Tucker says... I've really enjoyed viewing this site - Thanks.

August 26, 2006 Mary says... I am sorry about what I said about your site. I am sorry to have forced Ruhana Hafiz(24 August) to post a message to show that she HAS visited this site,but didn't leave a message. After reading three coments about my message, well, Ithink I should apologise. SORRY Heather (site owner) says: Not a problem at all, Mary. Thank you for your apology, and I hope you continue to enjoy my site.

August 25, 2006 Britney says... Wonderful pages! Keep up the grat work.

August 25, 2006 Nicole says... Very interesting website. Keep up the outstanding work and thank you...

August 24, 2006 Ruhana Hafiz says... I've visited this site countless times but I am the sort who doesn't leave comments behind. I suspect this beautiful site has a lot of visitors like me and since Heather gets the stats. from her web service, I don't think anyone can make any quantitative analyses based on imcomplete and/or misleading information. Heather, way to go !

August 23, 2006 Elizabeth says... Even I consider it rude and mean of Mary to say such things. Anyway, what's wrong if only few PPL visit this site, I love it!!

August 23, 2006 jon says... I am always visiting this site like I suspect quite a lot of people do. The reason for this is because it is an absolutely smashing place to come. This is a fine place to browse as I sip my tea and eat my sandwiches, just as I am doing at the moment. Top marks to a smashing person who runs a smashing site. I have made a couple of compliments in the past, but it is so good I think it is worth a mention again. Well done Heather Heather (site owner) says: Thank you very much, Jon (and others) - it's lovely to see so many nice messages lately!

August 22, 2006 Keith Robinson says... I just wondered why Mary (in her post on August 21) would take the time to point out (incorrectly) that Heather's Blyton Pages "never gets any visitors." What a pointless and silly thing to say! Mary, you could learn a few manners. If the number of posts in a guestbook is more important to you than the site itself, then I suggest you join MySpace. Heather, I echo what pretty much everybody else has said here: keep up the good work! :-) Heather (site owner) says: Thanks, Keith, for rushing to the aid of a damsel in distress! :-D

August 21, 2006 Mary says... Why does no one ever visit your website??? Wondering how I know that? If anybody ever visited your site,they would surely drop a line in the guestbook......... Good website but very few visiters. Heather (site owner) says: I'm very glad you like my site. I do have very detailed statistics of visitors to my website, but they are kept private. Enough people visit to be worth my time in keeping it updated, and if they choose to put a note in the guestbook it's up to them. I'm not interested in notoriety - all I'd like is to be a contributor, if just a little, to the exchange of information about a wonderful author.

August 20, 2006 Antoni Brezinski says... Really amazing! Keep working. I enjoyed my visit.

July 30, 2006 Steve Markham says... Excellent website, Heather! Got the link from enidblytonsociety.co.uk and your collection is wonderful. I'm glad it's going to get regular updates as I will be back! Many thanks Steve

July 25, 2006 SamantA says... Hello! I wish to thank authors for this site, it was pleasant to me! I hope that the project will develop only. With the best regards, Samanta. Heather (site owner) says: Thank you, Samanta - keep checking back, as the site is updated often.

July 24, 2006 Magdalene says... I love Enid Blyton's books as much as you do.

July 23, 2006 Amit says... Hi Heather! Hey, this is a gr8 site. I am an ardent fan of Enid Blyton like you all are. She was one of the most imaginative writer of children's books of all time. I like the Five-findouters Mystery Series and Secret Seven. And thanks a bunch for the photo album section. And please never pull down this site, becuase it's a gr8 one!!! Heather (site owner) says: I have no intention of pulling down the site! Thanks for your comments.

July 21, 2006 Mary says... hey, nothing ever new comes here. why is it so? i do love polls, the funny articles, and the photo album and not to mention the illustrators. will you add something soon, maybe in another week or two? please. love mary Heather (site owner) says: Hi, Mary. I was under the impression that I updated the site quite often - only last week, in fact. Whenever I have new things to add they're always listed in the "Latest Updates" section on the home page, and if you join the mailing list you can get an email immediately an update is available. I do plan on putting out new polls soon.

June 13, 2006 Mohamed says... Hi Heather! I really HAVE to post this message although I have by now posted quite a couple of messages! You see - I have found a simply EXCELLENT site where you can read Enid Blyton e-books! Can you beleive that??? You can read the e-books online or even download them! Wow! I just stumbled across this page on Google. The address is http://www.vb-tech.co.za/ebooks.htm. Heather (site owner) says: Hi, Mohamed. Thank you for the link - I won't add it to my weblinks just at the moment (I want to check if there are any legal or moral problems with linking to it first), but people can definitely visit it through the address you have provided.

June 12, 2006 Gina says... Hi Heather, I've just discovered your site via various links related to Enid Blyton books. Like everyone else here, I was brought up on a diet of her books when I was a kid in the 1950's. My favourites were Malory Towers and the Naughtiest Girl. I had a penpal in England who sent me each copy of MT as they were released over there, and I still have the full set. Unfortunately when I left my family home, all the books I'd left behind were chucked out when Dad remarried, so most of my collection went 'west', except for M.T. Love your story about your childhood! I'm racking my brains to think what town you are referring to! I am also in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne - funny if we live nearby! Heather (site owner) says: Hi, Gina. Nice to meet another Melbourne fan!

June 6, 2006 lyn says... Great site Heather, you've put a lot of work into it. Your collection is amazing! Once I've moved house I will find my books that have been packed away for years! Reading all this has brought many memories and reading the part about her pets was lovely! Heather (site owner) says: Thanks, Lyn - I'll make a Blytonite out of you yet!

June 3, 2006 Mohamed says... Hi Heather! Do you know the address of Gillian Baverstock, Enid's daughter? I want to write a letter to her - because I am a big fan of her's and her mother! Warm wishes from Mohamed. Heather (site owner) says: Mohamed, I'm sorry but I don't personally know the address. You could try writing to her through the Enid Blyton Society - contact them via their website at www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk

May 30, 2006 Shreya says... Please change the polls. It's been the same for the past two months I think. I do love voting, so plese change it. Thank you Heather (site owner) says: Hi, Shreya. I'm glad you like the polls. I will change them eventually, but I'd prefer to get a wide cross-section of people voting before I do, so that I can get some real facts and opinions. I will probably change them in another one or two months.

May 26, 2006 Mohamed says... Thanks a lot Heather, I'm very grateful to you. Yes - the book's name is Amelia Jane, I just purchased from a bookstore and I am reading it again. Love from, Mohamed.

May 25, 2006 Mohamed says... Thanks for the Treasure Cave, Heather. Its my favorite section on this site. By the way - when I was about seven or eight years old I remember borrowing a book from my school library written by Blyton, but I don't know the name of the book. It features a naughty little doll who keeps on having mischief and playing tricks on her fellow toys. I want to read this book again but first I'll have to know the name. PLEASE HELP! Heather (site owner) says: It sounds like you're talking about Naughty Amelia Jane - there are three books in the series: Naughty Amelia Jane (1939), Amelia Jane Again (1946) and More About Amelia Jane (1954)

May 20, 2006 Janet McArthur says... This is a wonderful Enid Blyton site, I have thoroughly enjoyed browsing through it and taking part in the poll. I have been a lifelong reader of EB and am now a serious collector with over 800 books in my collection. I buy any copy to start with, my aim being to have a first edition of the original ,eventually... My husband can remember running to the local bookshop in the 1950's to buy the new Enid Blytons as they were published that must have been a wonderful thing to do. At 63 he still enjoys reading the Adventure Series and The Famous Five . I still think my favourite is The Secret Island the thrill of my first reading of it still lives with me . Heather (site owner) says: Thank you very much, Janet. Your collection sounds wonderful, and as you may have seen on The Treasure Cave page, you share your favourite book with another very important person - Gillian Baverstock, Enid's daughter.

May 19, 2006 Mohamed says... Hey - is it true that Enid Blyton was a millionaire in her days? Love from Mohamed Heather (site owner) says: I'm sorry, I'm not sure what the size of Enid's fortune was - if somebody else knows, please email me.

May 17, 2006 Elizabeth says... I am very grateful to you, Anita Benoussane.

May 15, 2006 Anita Bensoussane says... The Famous Five book mentioned by Elizabeth could be "Five Get into a Fix," which is set in Wales. Aily, the Welsh girl, has a dog and a lamb - not a cat as far as I remember - but she does receive notes from an old woman in a building. The Five are staying in a hut up the mountain. Great to meet you here, Prabhu!

May 15, 2006 Mohamed says... Hi Heather! Its me Mohamed again! I am posting this message to say that I really love this site and even Enid. She is the Queen of Children's Literature. Although, I've read the Narnia Series by C.S. Lewis and Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, but I think that the Famous Five are better than them, of course. Lots of love from, Mohamed.

May 15, 2006 Eddie Muir says... Thank you for your reply. The Enid Blyton Day was, as always, superb. One of the highlights for me was to see the original manuscript of "The Mystery of the Vanished Prince", which was on display in the hall. This was the book that introduced me to the series and so it was of particular interest to me. Although if I had to pick a favourite from the series, it would probably be "The Mystery of the Missing Necklace". I have sent you a couple of emails with attachments which I hope will be of interest to you. Thank you again for your response.

May 9, 2006 Eddie Muir says... I have just discovered your website and I must congratulate you on its superb quality. I am a big fan of the Mystery series and of Fatty in particular, and so I was surprised and pleased to see you share my enthusiasm. I shall be attending the Enid Blyton Day in Twyford on Saturday, 13th May and I shall certainly be singing your praises while I'm there. Thank you for a great site. Heather (site owner) says: Thank you so much, and I hope you enjoyed the Blyton day - I'm so jealous that I couldn't be there!

May 9, 2006 prabhu says... Hi heather, Im really rather in love with that picture of Old Thatch, it does bring forth a spontaneous outpouring of all that I had felt when reading one of HER books... happiness, adventure, and nary a sad ending in sight..! But the real reason for this note is the message sent by Jenny Moon on the 13th of April. Im rather fascinated that her father was an attendee at Enid's class, and even more so that he was the inspiration for moonface. Really, Jenny, Id greatly like to know more about this. Did your father share his memories about Enid..? Do you mean that Enid actually sat and sketched his face during class.. ? Go on .. do tell...! Im rather surprised no one has displayed any curiousity so far. And Heather, you are doing a splendid job..! Heather (site owner) says: Jenny hasn't yet given me any further information on her father, but when she does I'll definitely be putting it on this site. So keep your eyes open for future updates!

May 9, 2006 Sarah says... Wow! This really is a great site. Heather, can you PLEASE add some letters of Miss Blyton and a page or two of her real manuscripts? Thanks a lot! Heather (site owner) says: I don't have any letters from Enid Blyton personally, but anybody who does have them is very welcome to email me scans and I'll be very happy to display them on the site. I also don't have any of her manuscripts, but the Enid Blyton Society does in their members archives section. The web address is www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk - but you will have to be a subscriber to their Journal to access this section.

May 5, 2006 Elizabeth says... There is a Famous Five book I am looking for. I do not remember its name but I remember some incidents. The Five meet a girl who has a cat I think. She is illiterate. She says that an old woman who is imprisoned by the baddies in a building writes notes to her saying Good Morning...... That girl speaks Welsh.The Five put up a tent and Anne does the cooking. Heather (site owner) says: I don't remember this book personally, but the Famous Five is not my forte! Anybody?

May 2, 2006 Mohamed says... Wow this site is simply marvelous. And I love Enid Blyton. How about adding her biography? Heather (site owner) says: Hi, Mohamed, and thanks for writing! My site is basically designed to pull together information from all over the web. Anybody wanting a biography can easily find one in my webslinks section, so I don't think it's really necessary to add another.

April 30, 2006 Nitya says... Thanx Heather!!!

April 26, 2006 Nitya says... Has EB written a book called 'Golden Hat'? Please let me know. Heather (site owner) says: There isn't a single title that I can find called "Golden Hat", but it may be the title of a short story. UPDATE: Anita has let me know about a short story collection called "The Goblin Hat", first published by Award in 1987. A note at the front of the book says that it's a reprint of "Enid Blyton's Friendly Story Book" (1954).

April 25, 2006 Nitya says... Okay Heather, I'll check up the atlas.

April 21, 2006 Nitya says... i've been visiting this site for quite sometime. i've enjoyed every article here. could you please write the name of the countries which the flags belong to(for the translation) because i do not know the names of the countries and i am too lazy to go and check up the atlas!!!! thanx!! nitya Heather (site owner) says: I'm sorry, Nitya - the translation service is provided by Babelfish - I just put the code on my page. Unfortunately you'll just have to find that atlas!

April 13, 2006 Jenny Moon says... It might be of interest to your readers that my father, John Moon attended Enid Blytons's small nursery class. I understand that he was the architype for Moonface in the Faraway Tree stories. One could describe him as having an unusually oval face as well as the name! In one of her school reports for him, (which I have) she describes him as a 'stubborn little character'!

March 28, 2006 John says... I grew up, with her books, read rather a lot of them. The Famous Five and the Secret Seven, and many others, while away my family gave them to Charity, (they had been in the loft well over 15 years) which i suppose is an OK thing, I mean someone else will get them and hopefully enjoy them. Thanks for this site, it gave back some wonderful memories.! John

March 22, 2006 John says... Great site I often browse around I find it very interesting indeed. One slight thing I find though, I keep getting hit by something, bug maybe or popup not sure !! Heather (site owner) says: Thank you, John for letting me know. Apologies to everybody for the inconvenience - the problem is now fixed!

February 25, 2006 Prasad says... Hi, I am myself 1978 born (in a town in India) and I grew up with Blytons books too. They were my gateway to a world of charm. Still cherish those fond memories, they provide me with a nice warm feeling!!

February 8, 2006 Gareth Jones says... Just found your site today it's excellent, very informative and very easy on the eyes.

February 1, 2006 Jacqui says... Hi Heather, I just happened to have stumbled onto your site. I love it and I'm definitely coming back for a proper look. P.S . I'd love a badge too. Heather (site owner) says: Badges are here for those who have requested them. Unfortunately I don't have the equipment that would be required to make real ones to post out to you, but you can find some fully printable templates in the "Other Stuff" section of this site. Happy badge making!

January 31, 2006 Belinda says... A very interesting website. I really liked doing the polls and veiwing their results.

January 27, 2006 Deb Stephens says... Absolutely fabulous, I will have to visit again soon! Hey, how about creating a badge Heather? I would buy one for sure! Even The Enid Blyton Society does NOT have a badge anymore. PLEASE think about creating one! It is so needed! Just magic, and the Dustjackets- to die for! But PLEASE CAN WE HAVE A BADGE? Heather (site owner) says: Thank you all for your continued support. In answer to Deb's question, I honestly don't think I'm qualified to make a badge, but maybe you would like to suggest it to the Blyton Society? I'm sure the members would love one (myself included) - and who knows, they could become a collectible and sought after item in the future!

January 25, 2006 Stephanie Woods says... This site is gr8! Not too sure about the second story on the spot of fun page but the rest of this is great!

January 12, 2006 Nitya says... I do like this site.

December 5, 2005 Aku Chiyere Nwata says... Nice web page, sure I will be back again!

November 30, 2005 Keith Robinson says... Just wanted to drop you a line and say how much I like all the information on illustrators - the list keeps growing and growing! And I'm still staggered by how many Blyton sites and articles there are out there. Oh, and the photos! Smazing. Swunderful.

November 5, 2005 Sarah says... Oh what a nostalgia trip. I read anything and everything by Enid Blyton when I was a child. You have set up an excellent site here - it all takes me back to the excitement of getting another Famous Five or Mallory Towers book! Keep up the good work!

October 16, 2005 Paulo Ferreira - Mistério Juvenil says... Great website. I liked to see the Blyton Photos, the houses and family. Thanks

October 10, 2005 John Atkins says... Enjoyed your site (and Keith's) and much appreciate the work involved. Another Blyton illustrator was Bertram Prance -about whom I know nothing as yet (please see my articles in last two EBS Journals). Best wishes, John

September 1, 2005 jon says... Hi Heather great site very well done, it is such a pleasure to be able to see so much interesting stuff. I am on my second cup of tea and it is way past my bedtime. I will save to my Favorites and carry on reading tomorrow and I might just have a third cup .

August 20, 2005 Lee Giliam says... Sensational site, Heather! The amount of work you have put into finding information, pictures and links is amazing! Well done!

August 13, 2005 Avital Dines says... Wow, I love the photo album Heather! Will add you to my links page shortly. Great site. Heather (site owner) says: I am hoping to add more pictures to the photo album soon too, so look out for that one, Avital.

August 13, 2005 Nigel Rowe says... A really fantastic site. Congratulations, Heather - your site is an essential entry to everyone's bookmarks/favourites. We have a great trio of EB sites with yours, Keith's and the EBS. Hurrah! Heather (site owner) says: I feel very honoured to be thought of amongst such grand company as Enidblyton.net and the Enid Blyton Society!

August 8, 2005 Keith Robinson says... What a great site this is! :) I love the illustrators' page and I'm staggered by the amount of Blyton links you've found. Smazing! I think I might just change my own links page to a single link saying "Go to Heather's Blyton Pages for links to other Blyton sites."

August 2, 2005 says... Heather (site owner) says: Thank you all for your kind comments. Glad you're enjoying my site! Be sure to check back regularly as more links are being added every few days, and the Blyton Illustrators page is growing whenever I have a spare minute to enter new information.

August 2, 2005 Paulo Ferreira - Misterio Juvenil says... Great Site. Important to preserve a Enid Blyton spirit. Continue with great work.

August 1, 2005 Mason Willey says... Thanks for a great informative site, and for helping keep alive the name of the greatest children's writer of all time, (J. K. Rowling - who's he?!)

July 29, 2005 Venkat Iyer says... Hi, Heather from Australia. I read your reviews on Keith's web site, they were great. I found this link on the Blyton group site and came over for a visit. Will check out the Japanese Find Outers! Good going! Cheers, Venkat

July 21, 2005 Anita says... Very interesting links, Heather. It's that Japanese Find-Outers link that really intrigues me. How did you hear about that - did you just stumble across it? I'd love to see that TV series dubbed into English! Heather (site owner) says: Anita, thanks for the feedback. I did just stumble across that site one day in a Google search, and I found it really interesting myself that the Japanese series existed! I didn’t even know Blyton was known in Japan.
