There are (or should be) 30 Old Testament and 30 New Testament. I'm not sure why they are called The Enid Blyton Bible Pictures but they are.
Does anyone know anything about these?
Anita Bensoussane wrote:They're often known as "Bible plates" and were done in the 1940s-50s to accompany Bible stories retold by Enid Blyton. The teacher would put the relevant picture up on the wall so children could look at it while listening to the story or answering questions about it.
I think we know the illustrator(s) but I can't remember offhand.
Also, there is a complete set currently for sale on ebay:Tony Summerfield wrote:http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/educ ... ntpictureb
