New FanFic... and New Staff! This update includes a new FanFic story by Liz Filleul – find out what happened to the Five when they grew old and had an adventure in a retirement home! Also, I really have "hired" some helpers this time – no, not fake people like I did on April Fool's Day, but actual real people who have been regulars for years. I'm very happy indeed to welcome them to EnidBlyton.net, although I'm not going to name them until I've got their bios together – best to do these things properly, dontcha know. Right now I'm walking them through the secret tunnels and showing them the ropes. —April 19, 2008 Browse articles and reviews...

Messages from Enid Blyton fans...May 9, 2008 - Somita says: "Hello there! Does anyone know who illustrated the pictures in the Famous Five books?" EnidBlyton.net says: The original books were illustrated by Eileen Soper. May 8, 2008 - Meghan says: "When I found out that Enid Blyton died in 1968 I was so shocked! and I still can't believe that there still reading her books today, and that proves that Enid was a truly great Author." EnidBlyton.net says: So many decades after her death, people still continue to read and enjoy Enid Blyton's books. That just goes to show what an amazingly talented writer she was. May 8, 2008 - vini says: "If everything in grey is not typed by Keith then by whom is it typed?" EnidBlyton.net says: By Keith's two 'helpers'! ;-) May 8, 2008 - vin says: "Do you really think Christopher really exists 'cos it might be a trick played by someone to know how everyone responds is after posting that EB is a bad author. I mean anyone would guess that everyone who is a fan of Enid would be mad after seeing that post. And if he really doesn't care about Enid Blyton why would he try to find this site and read talk about Blyton and fanfic and then say its bad. I really feel this is a trick. And you are right Nigel every one has the right to express their feelings without hurting others feelings." EnidBlyton.net says: Hmm... that opens up a new line of thought! Sounds like a mystery for the Five Find-Outers! May 8, 2008 - Jack says: "Well I haven't seen the Enid Blyton Society site before Tony and Nigel, so I didn't know of the reviews there. However I just an hour ago I discovered it went to it and read some major series' reviews and was impressed. I have to say that the reviews there are excellent (especially Anita Bensoussane's ) and very fine. Terry Gustafson's reviews are shorter and not much helpful although still good compared to some lacklustre reviews found in other Blyton sites. Now I regard both the sites as wonderful and their reviews fabulous!" May 8, 2008 - Somita says: "I want to know something. Is the book "The Boy Who Wanted A Dog" a series of novels or a single one? Please help me. Goodbye!" EnidBlyton.net says: It's a one-off novel - here is a review by Julie Heginbotham. May 8, 2008 - Somita says: "Hi there! Thanks to EnidBlyton.net for displaying my message! I thought you wouldn't display messages criticizing people instead of honouring them but again I thought of writing something to Christopher for hating our beloved author! I would like to tell you one thing, Chrishtopher. Yes, Enid's books are no match for Hardy Boys and The Three Investigators and Tom Swift and so on. Because Enid's books are far far better than the books you mentioned. Those books can never reach the place Enid's books have reached. So. What do you think about that, Chrishtopher? Books you mentioned aren't match for Enid's books at all. Well, Goodbye all!" EnidBlyton.net says: This message as been let through as it was written in good taste, Somita. It's not like many of the posts which are deleted immediately, because they're just rubbish, in my opinion. Shouting at others is not a very good idea! May 8, 2008 - Alicia says: "Christopher, did you get lost over the internet or something? I advise you to keep a map of all the sites you LIKE with you then. What's the point of posting here if you don't like Enid Blyton? I hope you can read the site address - it's EnidBlyton.net. The reviews are amazing and Enid Blyton is an amazing author. Hardy Boys are okay - but they'll never be as good as Enid Blyton stories! The fanfics are amazing as well." May 8, 2008 - George says: "OH REALLY?? CHRISTOPHER HAS GONE MAD!! You yourself can't write a single small story as good as Enid Blyton (IMPOSSIBLE) and you are here SHOW-OFFING attitude? YOU MUST BE DRUNK! ONE LAST THING, GO AND [censored] WITH YOUR HARDY BOYS BOOKS, AND REMEMBER YOU'VE GOT A VERY BAD AND DANGEROUS ENEMY FOR SAYING ALL KIND OF RUBBISH ABOUT DEAR ENID BLYTON! If you have guts, come back and comment against me, you [censored]!" May 8, 2008 - Nigel Rowe says: "Blyton fan, thanks for the prompt! To be honest, everyone has a right to voice an opinion, and I have known people write derrogatory comments before - purely to cause a reaction, so I rarely comment! I am surprised though, why such an avid Blyton-hater should Google to find Blyton sites! With regards to Jack's post, do look up the Enid Blyton Society website - you will be amazed. The book listing is really second to none. Tony is far too modest to say, but he is the great inspiration and general dogsbody behind the Society. Do check out the website!" May 8, 2008 - Tony says: "Oh Jack! Whilst I would be the first to agree that this site has some excellent book reviews, I am amazed at your statement in your post below - 'I never saw any reviews similar to the ones on this site, because all of them are average and the ones on this site are exceptional !' There are currently 162 reviews on the Society site and although it is still a work in progress, many of these already show all the illustrations from the first editions. On behalf of the writers of these reviews I would like to say that the majority are excellent reviews, and I am sorry that you consider them to be only 'average'!" EnidBlyton.net says: A timely reminder to 'plug' the Enid Blyton Society - the doyen of all things Blyton. Check out The Enid Blyton Society, a wonderful site including the definitive book listing. Thanks, Tony, for the gentle nudge! ;-) May 8, 2008 - Blyton fan says: "Keith anyone with common sense will know that after they post such stuff there are a lot of drawbacks. If Christopher will not look in again that means he is afraid of what he has done and Keith I have a question for you. How did you type such a cool message after his message?" EnidBlyton.net says: Not everything here is typed by Keith! ;-) May 8, 2008 - Blyton fan says: "Christopher, Do you think your job is over after posting a absolutely tragic message?Answer to everyone who is asking you why you did this. If you did not see any of these messages then you are a wimp and dont have courage to face something you got for what you did? ps how come there is no reply from Nigel and Abhilasha." EnidBlyton.net says: Maybe if he thinks this site and our Enid are both rubbish, he won't be looking in again? May 8, 2008 - vin says: "Dear Cristopher. What happened to your manners. If you don't like Enid Blyton then it's your problem. There is no need for you to say EB and this site is bad. She had more than 700 books of her published and are there 700 books of Hardy boys and whatever else you told. If you think this site is horrible then why did you send a message?Apart from a few people like you everybody just loves Enid. You have earned a lot of enemies by saying bad about her. We think this site is fabulous and thank you Keith for such a marvellous site for Enid Blyton." May 7, 2008 - Jack says: "Christopher, what makes you think this site is bad ? It is fantastic in my opinion ! And Blyton, a very bad author ? Sorry to say this, but you are yourself typing garbage on this wonderful site. Her writing style is the best, I think ! And her books are much better than the series you mentioned. And is the FanFic section embarassing, the colours terrible ? What are you thinking of ? The FanFic is quite excellent in my opinion and the colours are nice. They give the fact that the site is a serious one, not a childish one. The reviews are the most grand ! I never saw any reviews similar to the ones on this site, because all of them are average and the ones on this site are exceptional ! And are you a writer a something to say that Blyton's writing is full of flaws and it makes her books virtually unreadable ? I think not ! And Blyton's style does not contain a single flaw, according to me. She is the best writer in this world and the site is also the best in the entire web !" |
