How many books did Enid Blyton write?
This is easily the most asked question about our beloved author, and it's amazing how many different answers there are. The truth is, it depends on what you mean by "book." Do you mean novels? Short story compilations? Character books? Non-fiction nature books? The following numbers are shamelessly borrowed from the Enid Blyton Society's database and updated real-time. 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
192 recreation books
164 continuation books

May 15, 2012 - Aditya says: Eh? I just adjusted some settings and the site's viewing properly again. Miracle, eh? Or was it the Inspector? .
Fatty says: We may never know! Glad all is working well for you now.
May 13, 2012 - Holly Nelson says: Does anyone know how I can find out if my copy of the mystery of Holly Lane is a first ed? It is a red hardback copy with first published in 1953 written inside and catalogue no 5473/u. Kind thanks, Holly.
Fatty says: It was certainly first published in 1953 so I would imagine it was a first. Any subsequent reprints are listed, so if yours just lists one date, it probably is.
May 12, 2012 - Blueberry says: Hi, the review for Secret Seven Win Through has a slight error. In paragraph 7 the one after the Message on paper, second last line and seocd last word it says othen not oher. Just thought I'd let you know. : ).
Fatty says: Thanks, Blueberry. I am wondering why you think othen should read oher. It is ironical that your post pointing out an error contains two spelling mistakes! Kettle and Pots? ;-)
May 11, 2012 - Aditya says: Hello Inspector Jenks, I'm just browsing on my first-generation iPad with 3G +Wi-Fi. I opened this site, and the home page, instead of leaving two gaps on the side as your site wiews on my desktop, but is stretching and filling the whole width, making ALL the links to series reviews crazily aligned and not proper! Also the top banner saying in Blyton's handwriting Enid Blyton.net is viewed properly! Can you solve this? .
Fatty says: I have checked this on an iPad, and it appears just as it does on a PC or laptop. Maybe your settings need adjusting? I have passed this on to the Inspector, but he is on a difficult case at the moment and might not have the time to investigate this.
May 11, 2012 - Blueberry says: I love Enid Blyton's Find Outers. She must be a genius the way she thought of deducing the criminals. Anyway 'Fatty', You're a genius. And don't get too big headed about what I said. *wink*.
Fatty says: Moi?
May 10, 2012 - Paru says: I am from India. Grew up reading all Enid Blyton books Blue Dragon, Red Dragon, and Green Dragon series, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Bobbsey Twins. : ) When migrated to US and had a child went looking in the libraries for these books, and was very disappointed when couldn't find them. I am very excited to come across this link/web site.
May 10, 2012 - Teresa Barrett says: Hi Eileen! The book is definitely Hollow Tree House! It was one of my favourites as a child. Read it recently to my young daughter and she loved it too. Another favourite of mine is "The Family at Redroofs". If you haven't read it you're in for a treat!
Fatty says: Thanks, Teresa.
May 8, 2012 - Julie@owlsdene says: I think the book you might be thinking of, Eileen, could be Hollow Tree House. They finally run away and live inside a hollow tree.
Fatty says: Thanks, Julie. You may well be right!
May 7, 2012 - Eileen says: Trying to remember a book by Enid Blyton. It starts with two children a boy and girl who have no parents and are reared by a mean aunt. They want to go on a seaside trip with their school. She refuses to let them but they go anyway and when they come back the girl brings a string of seaweed as a present to the aunt who hits her with it then they run away.
Fatty says: I know it but the title escapes me! Anyone able to help Eileen, please?
May 5, 2012 - Vanetta says: Blyton's are truly a delightful experience, regardless of the reader's age. Ah, the hours I spent with a torch under the bedsheets, too eager to wait till morning, reading about the adventures of the Famous five, of Fatty and his gang, and the Secret Seven! George, Timmy Anne, Dick and Julian, Fatty, Bets, Larry, Daisy, Pip, Buster and Mr Goon and all the others, were my childhood companions. Fond memories,which I am revisiting now.
