I have just told Tim in a PM that the signature is definitely genuine.

Ah, that's good. That was the first thing I wondered about when I saw it.
"It's the ash! It's falling!" yelled Julian, almost startling Dick out of his wits...
"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

It is definitely genuine as the signature writing is the same, but the way is different from the signature you see on the new books.

Still trialling other writers, but will eventually go back to reading a bit of Blyton! Just too many books...

Occasionally will pop in! xx

Abi, believe me, if Tony says it's genuine, it's genuine. How can Enid sign a new book when she died in 1968!! :?

No cuz on the new covers, well my covers do, have the exactly the same signature. So if the one on the cover is not the one matching my books, it's a fraudster or Enid's. But cuz people don't normally write like that and her handwriting, no offence, is a bit scruffy it is mainly impossible to not be not real.

EDIT: I PUT cuz!

Abi I'm completely confused about what you are saying! :?

We're not talking about Enid's signature printed on the front of books, but a signature inside the book written in Enid's own hand!

All I can say is, huh?

Just as well we're putting our faith in Tony's declaration, not 7ups!

It’s quite incredible what people will pay for a few words on a piece of paper so you never know, if the urge to possess the book becomes intense, it might reach over a thousand by Sunday!

Yes, bargains can still be found. If the book was a hardback she really was lucky to get it at that price!
