Reviews, Translations, and FanFic! Last month, Julie Heginbotham kindly provided two new Secret Seven reviews. This month she completes the Secret Seven section with four more, namely Secret Seven Mystery, Good Old Secret Seven, Look Out Secret Seven, and Fun for the Secret Seven. Also in this update, Wouter van de Ridder provides Dutch translations of the Five Find-Outer series. It's strange how many foreign titles are actually better than Blyton's own! Finally, this update includes a new Blytonesque story by Somita, Party With The Fairies. —July 6, 2008 Browse articles and reviews...

Messages from Enid Blyton fans...July 24, 2008 - oblig says: "Enid Blyton - Short Stories Ok a strange one this. I remember a story from my childhood that was about a little boy (I think) who had a bike for Christmas, but saw a child on a scooter whom he was jealous of so he swapped it. He later saw a child with a farmyard set whom he was jealous of so he swapped it etc etc. I think he ends up swapping his toy for a delicious drink, drinks it and has nothing. Anyway I have searched my loft for the book but cannot find it not remember the title and would love to try and track it down or at least be able to re-read the story. Anyone else out there with a memory of this?" July 23, 2008 - SKB says: "Hi! I just reread the first Secret Seven yesterday. I forgot how good these books used to be!!! I read a lot of hers when I was younger. I liked everything from Amelia Jane, to Famous Five, and Malory Towers, the books with many small stories in it and of course the Secret Seven which were my favorites. I have nearly the whole collection. And concerning iftikar's comments, R L Stine books are dumb. I read a few of them and they aren't to the level of Blyton's story telling. Even Noddy and the stories about the rabbit (JoJo Lapin in French; I read it only in French this one) were better!" July 23, 2008 - Philip Mannering says: "I really have to post this message. I have found a simply WONDERFUL website where they have Blyton e-books! You can read them online or even copy them into a notepad/Ms Word! There are all the Famous Fives, Five Find-Outers, Adventures, Secrets, Barney Mysteries and the Adventurous Four! There are also about 6 Secret Sevens, 5 St. Clare's, 3 Malory Towers, all 3 Naughtiest Girl (even though the last has many, many errors) and a book of The Magic Faraway Tree! Are you out of breath? So am I! This is a truly excellent site for those interested in Blyton e-books or not having them in the library/bookstore. Plus, they're all authorized electronic and FREE editions! The address for this amazing website is: [moderated] Happy reading! P.S. - This site also has all the original Hardy Boys e-books, as well as a lot of original Nancy Drews!" EnidBlyton.net says: Sorry, Philip, but I hid the address of this site because, despite what you might have read, NONE of the Enid Blyton "e-books" knocking about on the internet are authorized. I won't get on my high-horse and say that I've never download pirated software, but I draw the line at actively promoting these sites -- especially ones like this, where they've stolen all the text from other similar sites and are offering it all as their own so-called authorized e-books. Each e-book that someone reads for free online is a REAL book that doesn't get sold, so ultimately the publisher loses money, the books go out of print, and the rest of us who prefer nice books on shelves suffer the most. July 22, 2008 - Sarmela says: "I grew up on The Famous Five and have recently started re-reading and collecting the books. I grew up in Nigeria and had to leave my books behind when we moved to Toronto : ( My question (someone, please help!!) is actually on the TV shows. Does anyone know where I might get a hold of any of the VHSs, in English? I checked on Amazon but they all seem to be foreign copies. I am afraid that I can't learn German or Dutch that fast! lol." July 21, 2008 - Nigel Rowe says: "Fee, it was Anita who hit the nail on the head (as usual!) The Enid Blyton Book of Brownies is an excellent fantasy story, and a new review of it has appeared on the 'Book Listings' section of the Enid Blyton Society site. Get well soon - wish I could share a macaroon with you! ; -)" July 21, 2008 - Bridget says: "Do you know the cast for the Malory Towers audio cassettes?" July 21, 2008 - Fee says: "Hi there, Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to your site but I managed to fracture my ankle and so have been rather preoccupied! I would just like to thank both Nigel and Anita for their help with my quest for the curly haired girl. I will certainly check out their suggestions. Fingers crossed I manage to find her! Many thanks once again." EnidBlyton.net says: We hope you're making a speedy recovery, Fee; sounds like a re-read of the Find-Outers and a plate of macaroons would be a good idea! :-) July 21, 2008 - enid blyton book fan says: "I hope this comment comes on site. Really I dunno how some people hate reading books. I can sit down with an Enid Blyton book that I have not read before and if I am interested, I can even sit there and read for the whole day(if the story is long enough!) I like the Secret Seven stories best, followed by the stories from the Enchanted Wood. Well, let us hope people who don't like to read will see this comment, feel ashamed and start to read Enid Blyton's books today!!!!!!!!!!!!" July 18, 2008 - Natalie says: "To begin with, thanks to for displaying my comment. Then, Rogoz, I too think that Christopher is the same person Iftikar is. But what a clumsy name Ifitikar is to choose for a alias! He's indeed a very sad being if he's the same person Christopher is. And what a person he's to like horror books. I don't know very much about the R. L. Stine he speaks of, but if he writes horror stories, he's sure to be a terrible writer." July 17, 2008 - Alicia says: "George - yeah, I do like dreaming. Daydreaming to be exact. Iftikhar, firstly Enid Blyton was a woman. At least get her gender right! Then, Hardy Boys are okay I suppose but R. L. Stine's idea of "horror" is TERRIBLE. It's all very impractical, unimaginative and I think my four-year-old sister would come up with such ideas. I mean, it's short and like EnidBlyton.net says very shallow. EB is NOT dumb! Try reading The Find-Outers and Dog series. And Five go to Billycock hill is quite a nice book. " July 17, 2008 - Daniel says: "Hi! Don't listen to Iftikhar. I love Enid Blyton and I love your site. I especially like the scans of drawings from the old books since you usually don't get these with later editions anymore. Is there any chance you could put high resolution versions of those scans on your site?" EnidBlyton.net says: Check out the Book Listings section on the Enid Blyton Society website if you like scans - they are phenomenol! Don't lose any sleep over our friend, Iftikhar - imagine meeting Enid and saying, "There's this guy called Iftikhar who thinks you're rubbish!" Would Enid be that bothered? ;-) July 17, 2008 - Stephen says: "I am of the same view as rogoz that Iftikhar has had many aliases such as "Christopher" and may have also vented his personal frustrations on Enid Blyton on other websites such Amazon.com almost a decade ago (1999) when a similar tone of writing criticized "Five Go To Smuggler's Top" in a similar manner without being objective." July 16, 2008 - smitha parvathy says: "I went through the entire list but did not find the title on Cherry Tree Farm. That was one of the books I enjoyed most. Please do include that in your list." July 16, 2008 - smitha parvathy says: "Tears come to my eyes when I remember the happy days Enid Blyton has given me. I think she has left no aspect of childhood untouched. May her soul rest in perfect happiness at the feet of the Lord." July 16, 2008 - rogoz says: "Hey Keith - Iftikhar forgot to mention your front page also looks pretty drab - um, isn't he the same guy [ May 7, 2008 - Christopher ] who posted similar about two months back? My get-smart Style meter says "same person"." EnidBlyton.net says: If that's true, then he's a very sad individual.
