I remember Enid Blyton commenting that Good day was such a strange phrase (via a character in a short story). It could mean so many things: *a curt good bye. (I've had enough, good day.) *a hello (good day, Mr Clinton) *a question (Are you having a good day? in short... Good day?) Does anyone else remember this or which book it was in?

I read Enid Blyton books as a child and now collect the books for my future grand children. I collect first editions if I can but first edition books with dust covers are rare in South Africa. I have over a hundred books of varying condition and I hope that It will give the same enjoyment that the books gave to me.

I enjoy Enid Blyton's novels very much. Her books are easy to read and very interesting. I introduce her books to my friends because I think it is worth for them to enjoy Enid Blyton's books.I really enjoy her books!

Ah, but Hari, if you continue down the list you'll find other titles besides The Dirty Old Teddy, such as The Dirty Teddy-Bear, The Very Old Teddy Bear, The Poor Old Teddy, and The Unhappy Teddy. Several of these have been printed more than once, perhaps with the name changed; whereas others might be entirely different stories with the same name as a previous one! It's a veritable minefield.

From the Teddy results your search threw up, Keith, The Dirty Old Teddy from Now For a Story (Harold Hill 1948) looks most likely.

The original "look and feel" of the Enid Blyton Society website is thanks to Vix of the popular Enid Blyton fanlisting Child Whispers. Recently it's been adapted by the current webmaster, Keith Robinson, of EnidBlyton.net.
