• Want to know where to buy Enid Blyton books? I recommend Navrang. Their website is based in the USA, but they sell new British editions printed and shipped from India. Books are low-priced, and shipping is a flat-rate US $3.99 worldwide for any size order.
• Trying to remember the title of a book? If you can't find the book on this site, try the Enid Blyton Society's complete book listing, where 1195 Enid Blyton books are listed along with the titles of over 7000 short stories, plays and poems!

May 9, 2008 - Somita says: "Hello there! Does anyone know who illustrated the pictures in the Famous Five books?"

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."

May 8, 2008 - vini says: "If everything in grey is not typed by Keith then by whom is it typed?"

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."

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!"

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!"

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'!"

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?"

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."

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 !"

May 7, 2008 - rogoz says: "If Christopher wants to join in [ I assume that's what he wants ] he'll have to be a lot more specific. Saying Blyton is very, very bad has been ho-hum news for the last 50 years - most serious critics can at least give reasons."

May 7, 2008 - Somita says: "Oh Christopher! If you didn't like Enid Blyton, her books and this website, why did you post a message here? This site is for honour of dear Enid Blyton and her awfully good books. It is for the Blyton-book-lovers, not for people hating Enid Blyton and her books. Have you tried to write some books? Do you know how hard it is? How could you ever think of sending such a rubbish message? And, Keith, why did you ever displayed it???"

May 7, 2008 - Meghan says: "Enid Blyton is the best, even better than Jacqueline Wilson and Jeremy Strong put together, oh yeah and Christopher is talking or should I say typing a whole load of rubbish!!!"

May 7, 2008 - Darrell says: "Ok, Thanks George, for calling me a fortune teller. No? You called Mary-Lou one?Yep. You got it. I was Mary-Lou, but for one day only. To prove to a friend that she was not too shy. Anyway, Neither is my name, I am a girl and I like it. My name is Sayyada, call me Darrell. Got that?Thanks again, George! PS: Ms. Grayling, Do you really run a school?"

May 7, 2008 - Christopher says: "I think Blyton is a very, very bad author or writer. She's so bad ! Her books are simply no match for The Hardy Boys, The Three Investigators, Tom Swift and many more wonderful series. Her writing style is so full of flaws that they virtually make her books unreadable. Pooh ! This site is rubbish too ! The reviews are pure garbage, the colours are terrible and the Talk About Blyton section and the FanFic section is embarrassing. Bad site, bad author !"

May 7, 2008 - Alicia says: "Sorry for the bother then Miss Grayling. Wow - d'you really run a school? And George, my mind says "East or west, Girls are the best!". So we just don't think alike okay? And we don't dress alike either! Hmm, yeah, I am like a vampire - unbelievably like one! I'm a mix today too - sarcastic, sharp and in a mood for mischief! I love playing tricks on the mistresses here - I go to a boarding school in case you're confused."

May 7, 2008 - Nigel Rowe says: "Sally, you may well find Famous Five videos on eBay - worth a look."

May 7, 2008 - George says: "Oh, sorry I forgot to ask this before. There is a series which has one of it's book's name as 'Mischief at St Rollo's ' and another book in it's series named 'The children of Kidillin'. Which series is that book?"

May 7, 2008 - George says: "I really don't know what's the problem with this stupid internet!? Anyways, I've so many questions to answer, here I go - Anonymous, I know I'm on an extreme side. But I'll remain an extremist. So never mind. My mind says 'east or west boys are the best'. And cleaning is such a boring and waste of time work (At least for me) And all girls aren't cool either! Girls are indeed STUPID! I know only 1or 2 who must be cool. But boys - all are cool. Alicia, THERE'S EVERYTHING WRONG IN BEING A GIRL! I'm not sorry for my capitals! I don't care in whatever way you dress in but I'll tell you how I dress. Baggy jeans with baggy t-shirt. And that's boyish. I don't see why Keith said that only girls are stubborn, boys are DEAD stubborn for play-stations and game-boys and so many more wunnerful things. Well, Keith, I thought Ming was a boy because her name is like that. Why, Miss Grayling, I didn't understand a thing! (That's probably because George Kirrin was also not academic!) But the last sentence was very understandable! It would be really a dream come true for me! That day I'll think I found the end of the rainbow! By the way, Alicia, George is me only! Who's Abhilasha? Someone new around? I don't care. You really look like a vampire?! COOL! I've never seen one but no wonder you look like a vampire. I was being rude? Sorry! I'm quite mixed up today, polite as well as rude. Whew! That was a long write!"

May 7, 2008 - Miss Grayling says: "Sorry dear, I am not a Biology teacher - but I studied Biology! I don't teach much, running Malory Towers takes all the time away from my hands. (I sound like Mr Keith Robinson when I say that!) :-)"

May 6, 2008 - Sally says: "I love reading Famous Five, also the Malory Towers books. Where can I get hold of Famous Five videos?"

May 6, 2008 - Alicia says: "Haha George! If you think wanting to be a dog is funny, I wonder what you'd say if you took a look at me - I've got so many vampirish features - pale skin, sharp canines, black clothing."

May 6, 2008 - Alicia says: "Uhh, Anonymous (May 5 2008), are you a boy - or - a girl - or a mix of the two (Borl or Goy)? No offence. God I'm so tired today!"

May 6, 2008 - Alicia says: "No Miss Grayling, that would be more of a dream come true to George not Abhilasha (Nice name by the way)! Miss Grayling, don't mean to be rude but err - are you a biology teacher??"

May 6, 2008 - Miss Grayling says: "Oh dear, here it goes again. George, ever heard of females suddenly turning into males (literally)?! Know why that happens? Let's have a Biology lesson. When a baby is only one cell big, it is always female. It stays female for six weeks, and if the Y chromosome, which is like a switch, is present, switches on and turns the female into a male. This happens not only in human being but in all organisms. Once in a blue moon the Y chromosome fails to work properly and switches itself on after many years and turns the (usually adult) female into a male. That would a dream come true for you, now, wouldn't it Abhilasha? ; -)"

May 6, 2008 - Darrell says: "Congratulations to me! I (with my Blyton buddy) introduced a girl to Enid Blyton by lending her a copy of Five On A Treasure Island. St. Clare's next!"

May 6, 2008 - George says: "By the way, are you a girl, Ming? Or a boy? I THINK BOY!"

May 6, 2008 - Alicia says: "Oh god! Here we go again - THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN BEING A GIRL GEORGE! Sorry about the capitals by the way. Right, I'm a girl (See my name), and I don't like playing with dolls, cleaning, cooking ect. And I don't want to be a boy either - I'm proud to be a girl - I'm not as boyish as you though - I dress a lot in black and dark clothing and white. I guess Alicia from Malory Towers would be an EXACT description of me. Oh, by the way EnidBlyton.net - how true - I'm a girl and I'm dead stubborn!"

May 6, 2008 - Tony Frank says: "Just read a new book entitled: Enid Blyton at Old Thatch! Its available from Rainbowbooks - www.Rainbowbooks.com. Au, great read about the place where Enid Blyton's stories emerged from."

May 5, 2008 - Somita says: "What? Being like a girl??? Anne (if it's your real name), I think you are a peculiar type of person!!! A girl wanting to be a boy was somehow ok but a boy wanting to be a girl????"

May 5, 2008 - Stephen says: "Tess, congratulations upon publishing your new book. As for some of us that do not live in Australia or Britain, might you have an idea if or when the book would be available on key online bookstore sites like Amazon.com, Borders.com, Barnes and Noble (bn.com), Half.com, etc? It may be easier for some of us to purchase the book on any of these websites."

May 5, 2008 - Joseph says: "Golly! It seems like such a long time since I've posted a comment on this marvelous website! I would just like to thank Enid Blyton herself for all her amazing works that if hadn't been, neither would this site!"

May 5, 2008 - Anonymous says: "In reference to both George and Anne's comments, I think you are both going extreme sides. Anne, you want to be a girl and say girls are much better than boys, while George, you want to be a boy and say boys are much better than girls ! Ha ! You both made me laugh ! I think that boys and girls are equal, none is superior to the other. George, cleaning is not a stupid thing ! It is one of the most sensible I can think of. And all boys are not too cool, much like girls they are. Anne, I think that boys are not so bad as made out to be, there are some great boys there! Hope you abandon your extremist attitudes."

May 5, 2008 - George says: "Either it was policy or cheating. If none of those two too, Boys are still cooler and better than girls. And I MEAN TO SAY IT! Keith, does being a girl have anything to do with stubbornness? To prove that I'm correct - Richard Kent (a boy) who was in the 8th FF book, was stubborn too. He became a girl, did he? There are really strange people around, a boy wanting to become a girl(I never met a tomgirl), Very weird, a human wants to become a dog! STRANGE! Next I'll be hearing people wanting to become a Felis Domestica or rana tigrina."

May 5, 2008 - Ming says: "Reading Anne's post reminded me of a debate my debate coach did when he was back in Grade 4. The topic was "This House Believes that Boys are Better than Girls" with my coach's team proposing the motion. He had an all-boys team, and the Opposition had an all-girls team. Now this was really a sexist motion, he thought, and as he looked at the adjudication panel he was shocked to find only females judging the debate. Needless to say, the girls won. What does that tell you, George? ;-)"

May 5, 2008 - George says: "As you're a boy (I think you're kidding), tell me if I'm like a boy or not. I won't budge from my ideas a bit, I want to be a boy very badly and You! Fancy bothering about Dolls or cleaning. To tell you the truth, you sound very much like a girl. I'm very bad at cleaning anything, if you ask me to put a bunch of scribbled with pens papers, I'd throw it in the corner of the room not the dustbin! Boys are just so cool. I hate the things stupid and silly girls do. And I'm as good as any boy! HMPH. Fancy bothering about GIRLS!"

May 5, 2008 - Tess Livingstone says: "Hi fellow Blyton fans. Just to let you all know about a new. Richly illustrated book called Enid Blyton at Old Thatch. Depending where you live it is 12.87 sterling (postage included), or $19.95 Australian from Connor Court Publishing. It is about Old Thatch, how it inspired Enid and how the five find Outer series was set around that area. Also contains a map and good local guide to other places of interest in the area."

May 5, 2008 - Timmy says: "I have always wanted to be a dog! No work all day, just playing with George, and chasing baddies. I hope that I shall get to eat some tasty bunnies, though. I love rabbits - yum yum! I promise you, I'm as good as a dog any day! Woof woof!"

May 5, 2008 - Anne says: "I have been reading George's outbursts with interest. I am a boy, but I tell you, I am as good as a girl any day. It seems to me, George, that you should be proud of being a girl - able to clean up, cook and play with dolls. I am very good at cleaning and cooking, and like to play with dolls too. Girls are much better than boys, most of the villains in Blyton's books are men, so why do you want to be one? Maybe if there is someone here who wants to be a dog, we could make up our own Famous Five?"

May 5, 2008 - Somita says: "Hi all! Gianna, I also like Enid's THE YOUNG ADVENTURERS AND THE HIDDEN TREASURE very- very much. It is very exciting to reading. While reading it, I feel as if I am in the same adventure. Anyway, I like all the books of Enid that I have read. Goodbye!"

May 3, 2008 - Anonymous says: "Gianna, Enid Blyton still lives through her books for a lot of us. It's great that she has an ever new readership like you. It sounds like you have motivation and are open to imaginative and creative ideas - good luck with your future writings. All best, another Secret Blog aficionado. Jane."

May 2, 2008 - Gianna Williams says: "Dear Mrs. Blyton, I love your books they are wonderful. One of the books that you wrote that is named: THE YOUNG ADVENTURES AND THE HIDDEN TREASURE , I like it beacause it teaches me that I can be a writer or a illustration. I love your books. Your new friend, Gianna."

May 2, 2008 - Ritu says: "Hey Guys, I'm writing in this site after such a long time. I just now read Liz's Famous Five story in the "Fanfic" section. It's really great. It was all the way thrilling to read the story, but one suggestion; I just wished if Liz hadn't divorced George. It somehow seems, you know, a bit awkward, with her speaking so casually about it. But that's only my own opinion, no offence. Another thing, like Somita did, I also always wanted to be a friend of George. George, before you ask me what I like about you, I wanted to be friends with you as I like your open-minded nature a lot. Like you, I also am very straight forward, without hiding my opinions. So could you provide me with your email address???(Of course, only if you, also want to be friends with me) Enjoy all. Cheers, Ritu."

May 1, 2008 - susan says: "Hello, I came across a book on the internet that says it's by Enid Blyton, but I have never heard of it. It is called Brophy, John: Target Island and is set in 1942 and is about the defence of Malta. I am very suspicious that this could be by Enid Blyton, can anyone help me? thanks."

May 1, 2008 - abbey says: "I adore the Famous Five series!! My favourite is Five go to Mystery Moor, oh, and I also like the St Clare's series! Thanks Enid Blyton.net for helping me like them! "
