Society Badge

Welcome to the website of the Enid Blyton Society. Formed in early 1995, the aim of the Society is to provide a focal point for collectors and enthusiasts of Enid Blyton through its magazine The Enid Blyton Society Journal, issued three times a year, its annual Enid Blyton Day, an event which attracts in excess of a hundred members, and its website. Most of the website is available to all, but Society Members have exclusive access to secret parts as well! Join the Society today and start receiving your copy of the Journal three times a year. Don't forget also that we have an Online Shop where you'll find back issues of the Journal as well as rare Enid Blyton biographies, guides and more.

Summer vacations are going on and I spend most of my time in reading Enid ma'am's books. I really want to thank Enid ma'am for writing such marvellous books. THANK YOU ENID MA'AM.....
BarneyBarney says: There's no better way to spend the summer hols!

Hello! How may we have the rights to Enid Blyton's books to translate them first and do from them audiobooks and e-books in Finnish?
BarneyBarney says: You would need to contact Hachette UK (Hodder), Markku, as they own the Enid Blyton copyright.

Many thanks to the organisers of the Beckenham Walk on Saturday 15 June. This was a very enjoyable day and a good opportunity to chat with other Society members.
BarneyBarney says: Thank you, John. The outing was organised by Cliff Watkins, who led the walk, and Tony Summerfield, who unfortunately was unable to be there. If anyone would like to read more about it, there's a thread on the forums here.

Patricia, if it's the words you need, here they are:- The Flower-Woman (title)/ On Thursdays I see in the Market Square/ Old Mrs. Brown on her wooden chair,/ Nobody knows how old she must be,/ She hasn't told anyone - not even me./ In front of her stands a basket wide/ With tulips and daffodils packed inside,/ Pale narcissi and jonquils sweet,/ And bunches of violets, prim and neat./ When I buy her daffies I see her smile,/ And her eyes are twinkling all the while,/ They're blue as forget-me-nots - and I believe/ She's a pixie-woman who laughs up her sleeve!/ Maybe she sits there just for a joke,/ Huddled inside her raggedy cloak,/ Pretending to us she is just Mrs Brown;/ But p'r'aps underneath is a gossamer gown./ P'r'aps if the wind swept it open we'd spy/ Crushed-up wings that would shake out and fly,/ And old Mrs. Brown - well, she wouldn't be there -/ And I'd go and sit on her pixie chair!/ A gorgeous poem, I do love Enid's early poems.
BarneyBarney says: Thank you very much, Sue. It is indeed a gorgeous poem. Unfortunately the Message Board format puts everything into one long paragraph, so I've indicated the line endings by using the / sign.
