I too ...Oh, you brought back such lovely memories! I too loved Enid Blyton as a child (although my children don't seem quite as captivated), and always saw myself as George of course (luckily, during the summer, with my cousins, we were given almost as much freedom as they are). I read them all: Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, the Famous Five, the school series, the Naughties Girl in School... I could go on and on, but the main point is that it did give me a lifelong love for reading and spinning a good yarn.Marina Sofiahttp://findingtimetowrite.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514378008400567712.post-58596837843179831042012-06-05T16:54:44.752+01:002012-06-05T16:54:44.752+01:00I'm really glad the post brought back such hap...I'm really glad the post brought back such happy memories, Mary.

My favourite was "Five go to Smuggler's To" starting with the tree crashing into Kirren Cottage - lovely stuff.

Was absolutely entranced by her books as a child and like you, I used to request them for birthdays and Christmas as well as save up my pocket money for them. I used to dream of toys coming alive at night or finding a magic rocking chair in an antique shop that could transport me to different lands. And of course Mallory Towers and The Famous Five. I loved them all.Karen Wheelerhttp://toutsweet.netnoreply@blogger.com
