Enid Blyton

Enid Blyton was *the* major force in my reading life in the Fifties. And apparently she still sells 8 million books a year. She wrote 750 books.
The excellent TV drama last night on BBC4 with Helena Bonham-Carter was very provocative about her life. A case study in the Intentional Fallacy and Nemonymity, I feel.

==================

“'Secret Way!' said Anne, her eyes shining. ‘Oh, I hope it’s that! Secret Way! How exciting. What sort of secret way would it be, Julian?’
‘How do I know, Anne, silly?’ said Julian. ‘I don’t even know that the words are meant to mean “Secret Way.” It’s really a guess on my part.’”
-- Enid Blyton (Five Go Adventuring Again).
