ABOUT THE BOOKEnid Blyton (1897-1968) stands as one of the most popular children's book writers of the 20th century. Her legacy continues through a devoted fan base of those who grew up with her stories of inquisitive children getting into misadventures in the English countryside. Blyton also appealed to younger readers with her Noddy series, about a little boy made out of wood who lives in Toytown; the series produced a total of 24 books and a string of popular TV series.The appeal of Blyton's books for older readers, from ages eight to 12, was primarily the lack of parental supervision or interference; in the "e;Famous Five"e; books, the indulgent aunt and uncle generally let the kids go off, unaccompanied in caravans or on camping trips across the moors at the ripe old ages of 14 though 16.
