How many books did Enid Blyton write?

For a far more detailed analysis, visit the Society's immense Cave of Books.
Note: Enid is credited with over 10,900 short stories, poems and plays throughout her career, but some were used many times so the actual number is more like 7500. Check out this comprehensive, detailed listing.
186 novels/novelettes
243 character books
896 short story series books
267 education books

January 24, 2012 - Sue Webster says: Hi Rocky , i`d love that Enid Blyton diary if you still have it and want to sell it. May I buy from you for £5.
January 24, 2012 - Sue Webster says: Hi not been on the site for ages but thought I would. I`ve been reading some of pamela cox`s Malory Towers books and really like them. It was great tgo read that felicity became head girl and gwen came back to teach etiqette. ---bet i`ve spelt that wrong. Now i`m going to read the st c\lare`s books by pamela cox when finished the naughtiest girl ones. What do other readers think of the pamela cox books? .
January 22, 2012 - Himali says: I love this book Malory Towers. Is it a real boarding school? Is all the things real? If yes then really it would be a fun to be there. I still cant believe all this its awsome. Is Alicia really married 8th time? And felicity is not talking to Darrell?? Is allt this real?? Is all the characters real? Can I meet them? .
Fatty says: Enid Blyton wrote fiction and although may have been influenced by real places, rarely based her stories in an actual location.
January 22, 2012 - Sir Nikolas Valentine says: I have a worry that whoever acquires the Blyton copyrights after Chorion, particularly if it is a company of the American copyright industry such as Paramount or Universal, will take negative action against fan sites such as this one. Even the BBC has become harder in its' attitudes towards fans of its' shows in recent years.
January 21, 2012 - Aditya says: Hey!! Here's an interesting thing! If you type [url deleted] after the http://www.EnidBlyton.net, then you get a topic named _ with a post December 31, '69. Inspector Jenks, can you please help me? Thanks in advance, Aditya.
Inspector Jenks says: There's nothing to help with, Aditya. If you manually type a link with a non-existent ID, then you're bound to get an error of some kind. It's the same with the other link you mentioned. In short, stop manually typing links and just use the navigation! Now, if you come across a dead link from the navigation itself, that's a different story and I need to know about it. (And in case you're curious, the date December 31, 1969, is a default date whenever a non-existent date field is called upon from the database.)
January 21, 2012 - Ilsa says: Fatty, you are a tease! Rasathma, if you have seen any titles of the Malory Towers books you should be able to see that they are school stories. Not at all mysterious!
January 21, 2012 - Saky says: Fatty, will SOPA and PIPA have any bearing on this site? Can they affect this site in any way? .
Inspector Jenks says: No, I can assure you that Pip standing on his soap box won't affect Fatty's thinking in any way. (And if the Americans think they can censor Enid Blyton, well, they can jolly well think again!)
January 20, 2012 - Rasathma says: I've already finished reading two mystery series of Enid Blyton and presently i'm reading another two series. I need to read Malory Towers but I don't know whether it's a mystery book.
Fatty says: Malory Towers? It's a mystery to me! ;-)
January 15, 2012 - John Williams says: I, like my kids, loved the Noddy series and the Wishing Chair series; however, one of the girls at 16 just saw the biographical TV Movie about Enid and felt sad that Enid was not as kind to her her own children. I said that's part of growing up. Kids stories are fiction to make you enjoy the magic of the world rather than try to understand it's complexities. One good gesture she made was to support many charities. Perhaps her greatest gift.
Bets says: Thank you for the kind words, John. Enid was indeed a very complex person, and I too found the TV drama a bit unbalanced. It was certainly very true, but too little of Enid's generous side and her teaching days were portrayed.
January 14, 2012 - Hina says: I love you guys, you brought tears to my eyes, you proved that you'll be by my side through lows and highs. I know time flies but nothing can break our ties of the joy of Blyton times. Fatty and Inspector Jenks and Bets you really are the best, our bond survived time's test makes me feel real blessed you put my fears to rest I came here again after so many days you made me forget all the problems,all the pain made me remember the past gave me hope that all's not lost. I let myself free in this enchanting world once more just wannna thank you guys from the core. I'm really sorry for my punctuations and typos and whatnots, I just wrote what came to mind,and I can't bring myself to check it again. I dont know if you'll believe it or not but I'm blinded with tears. So much went wrong today and thanks to that I rediscovered EnidBlyton.net. I can't explain the difference this has made. I just wanted to let you know,and THANKS.
Fatty says: I have added a few punctuation marks, Hina! Glad we've been of service! :-)
January 14, 2012 - Hina says: I have come back here after a long long time and surfed everything all over again. Today was an emotionally draining day and this site was one link to a happier time. When a problem was like not able to choose which book to buy or breaking my head over my brother's disinterestedness in Enid Blyton. Times have changed,people have changed,but one thing that remained the same is EnidBlyton.net.So glad to see that messages are still punctuated,anonymous ones are still not allowed,the rustic look is still the same ,the sum question is still asked and all the wonderfull people that kept this place going are still around. Thanks a ton EnidBlyton.net.I really needed this. Wish someone had invented a time machine. What wouldnt I give to go back to those days and lose myself in the magic of Enid Blyton and the others!
January 13, 2012 - Emma says: I would just like to congratulate Jennifer Patten. I came across this site by accident and read her continuation story of the Famous Five when they were older and, although I am in my late 30s now, it still made me cry with gladness. I grew up reading the Famous Five books along with other Enid Blyton stories and this brought back some happy memories. So thank you Jennifer Patten, I do not know if you are a professional writer, but if not you should be.
January 12, 2012 - Anita says: I'm pleased to hear you've tracked down a copy of the story for your daughter, Joanie. I loved Enid Blyton's cautionary tales as a child and I still consider many of them to be beautifully crafted and thought-provoking.
January 11, 2012 - Joanie says: Hello Anita! Thank you so much for the lead on 'The girl who found sixpence'. I've now tracked down a copy and my daughter is delighted. Thank you again!
Fatty says: A 'thank-you' is always appreciated! So glad you've now got a copy.
January 11, 2012 - Margaret says: Hi can anyone advise where best to get info on Enid Blyton for a 7 year old (my daughter who loves her books and Noddy) to research for her public speaking which is on Friday 13th. Thanks Margaret.
Fatty says: Take a look HERE, Margaret. Also explore the rest of the site for inspiration! Good luck to your daughter.
