I started off with Famous Five, then there was something she had written for younger kids, I forgot what it was called, something about a stout old man. I used to keep borrowing her books from the school library, and were even some of the first books I'd owned. Aw the nostalgia! <3 I've been thinking of writing something about her on my other blog for a while now.

I usually bored the books from one of my family friends. And when I finally managed to buy a Enid Blyton book, my joy knew no bounds.<br />And I agree with you about the old books!

I read all the books in the Faraway Tree series, though! I used to read the books one a day, and the library I went to used to issue only one book a day! Thank goodness for that, or else I would have spent all day reading Enid Blytons, and not bothering about any summer holiday studies :D (Not that I do anything differently now, I read and read almost every minute of the time my eyes are open :P ) <br /><br />The thing is, Enid Blyton books (and other similar books) form the foundation stone for all the reading one will ever do in life. If you don't read Enid Blyton, it does get pretty tough to pick up reading at a later stage! I guess it's because of the way she makes reading so appealing to kids, specially at an age where kids would rather be playing on their phones/ eating sweets/wasting time. <br /><br />Perfect selection for today's E for post. We bibliophiles would have it no other way! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04865126680254886813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140698802730756464.post-52960328863268743212017-04-06T21:08:12.685+05:302017-04-06T21:08:12.685+05:30I have read too many Enid Blytons.
