I have many old children's books and annuals from the 1940's and 1950's including lots of "Noddy" titles and other assorted Enid Blyton books, plus some OLDER titles too which my mother used to own.
I'd like to sell them all but I believe the following items are particularly sought after:-
THE LADYBIRD ADVENTURES OF WONK SERIES
see-- http://www.theweeweb.co.uk/ladybird/ladybird_wonk.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
6 Titles in series 417 all with original dust covers.
The books are in my house in North Finchley, London, N12.

Re: Enid Blyton books for sale
The Ladybird 'Wonk' books are very nice and as you say of interest to children's book collectors. They are, however, nothing to do with Enid Blyton so I don't think that you are going to get much joy on this website. Some of the titles are much scarcer than others, but even so I think you would not easily find anyone prepared to pay £100 (each) for them, which is the figure suggested on your website.
I have got some of the books myself and for those that are interested, they are written by Muriel Levy and illustrated by Joan Kiddell-Monroe.

Re: Enid Blyton books for sale
Yes, they look nice books, but I agree with Tony, that there might not be very much interest here! Everyone is so engrossed in their Blyton books!

Re: Enid Blyton books for sale
You'd also get more interest here if you listed the Blyton titles, editions and condition so people could figure out if they're interested in what you have. Doubt anyone will phone a complete stranger on the off-chance they've got a book that's of interest.

Re: Enid Blyton books for sale
Dear jessica311, Fiona1986, Poppy & Tony Summerfield,
Many thanks indeed for your very kind and helpful comments.
My apologies to all of you for not replying sooner but I did not appreciate how this forum operates and I did not realize that I had to to "log-on" to the site to see my responses. I thought I would just get e-mail's sent to me direct. Consequently I just posted another similar advert which of course is not necessary.
Anyway thank you all very much once again.
Kind regards,
Steph
