Enid Blyton Follow-Up

[scioscribe]

I can't believe I forgot to mention this, but the Enid Blyton Wikipedia page is a trip. Things I learned from it: Enid Blyton was a fan of playing tennis naked, her books were often banned for being "slow poison" because they were considered too easy to read, and her divorce came about because she had an affair with the nanny.

Now I want to read a bunch of Enid Blyton.

You should! Although apparently there are several very racist ones, so... maybe not those ones, or at least not those without being prepared in advance. Malory Towers was free of that, thankfully.
