Book of Brownies Signed by Enid Blyton Hardback Book 1967.

If that signature is genuine it must have been one of the late books signed by Enid who passed away in 1968?
Did she sign items right up to the very end of her life, including the year 1968?

My thoughts are that this isn't genuine. The "Love from" looks suspect, too.

I'm no expert but it doesn't look genuine to me.

Dementia does affect the handwriting considerably. Perhaps this is too good an example to be genuine?

I don't think this one looks genuine either.
