Looking For Enid: The Mysterious And Inventive Life Of Enid Blyton

Description

She gave us the Famous Five and Fatty's Find-Outers, the Enchanted Wood and the Wishing Chair, as well as Malory Towers and Noddy. To this day, she remains the most popular children's writer of all time. But who was Enid Blyton? Join Duncan McLaren, one of Enid's most fervent fans, on a ripping adventure to discover just how she created the characters that became childhood chums for so many of us.

Duncan McLaren is the author of Personal Delivery and has written widely about contemporary art, mainly for the Independent on Sunday and for art magazines. Approaches from visual artists provide the starting points for his The Casebook of Non-Sherlock Holmes, and The Strangled Cry of the Writer-in-Residence, on John Ruskin (2002). www.enidblyton.me.uk
