The Enid Blyton Society

Funny - I looked through the list twice last night and didn't see the jigsaw - weird! Obviously my mistake!

It worked for me today too, so presumably I just missed it, despite scanning the list twice! lol!

You must have been so sleepy.

Regarding the EB booklets, I think I have most of them - especially the earlier ones like 'Letters From Bobs' which now go for around £15 each on eBay!

*jealous*

Very difficult to get them.

To me, the 'Letters From Bobs' books are well worth having - some of the best little books I've ever read - amusing, observant, and give a great insight into Enid's life (or at least, the life she wanted us to see!)

I am glad to say that I have Third Series of Letters i.e. Bob Again and the other two are on their way.

I've learnt a lot from the Society booklets and had great fun reading them. It's hard to pick out favourite titles but I'm particularly fond of the "meatier" Birn Brothers books consisting of assorted stories - The Luck of the Laytons, Wendy Wins Through and Tricked on the Track. The tales are fresh and imaginative and contain some quite unexpected episodes.

Thank you, Anita. Sadly I do not have those titles you have mentioned above. I must rectify this situation quickly for I have an intention to buy them but where???

The EB Society booklet I prize most is probably 'The Wonderful Adventure' which I'm unlikely to get in any other edition! It's maybe not the best adventure book Enid ever wrote, but it was certainly the first! Mine is the version that was first printed inside the EB Day programme.

My favourite EB Society booklet is "Letters from Bundle and Cosy and Enid Blyton" that were first published in the Sunday Dispatch 1943 - 1945. They are very amusing and the pictures by Spot are charming.

Another favourite is the uncollected picture strip of The Secret Seven which appeared in the Mickey Mouse Weekly, lots of illustrations by George Brook, it's a super little booklet. It's a shame that the picture strip version of Well Done Secret Seven was never issued as a EB Society publication, I don't suppose it ever will be now as it's uneconomic for Tony to produce any more booklets. A great pity.

True Kate Mary and it's a pity.

I hope that someone enjoys this as it took me 6 hours to do spread over two days. I have already broken my New Year's Revolution!

Thank you so much for that, Tony, and it's good to see you could crush the revolt so fast .

I was only crushing myself, Wolfgang, as I was disappointed at how few people bother to even look at the main website and I thought that I wouldn't bother to add anything new for a while.

Thanks Tony I have just read it - a very charming little tale indeed. Thank you for your time and trouble.
