Short Stories by Enid Blyton

[Nair Snehalatha]

Hollow Tree House--is another lovely work of Enid Blyton.--about two children who run away from their cross old aunt.Angela a sweet , little girl befriends them .What happens makes exciting reading.House -At -The -Corner is another beautiful read.A family which changes for the good because of cross .old Aunt Rose.

I made a mistake in my last post--It should have read Aunt Grace instead of Aunt Rose.The Adventures of Binkle and Flip is another short story book.--about Binkle and Flip--two naughty bunnies.It's really very humorous and written the typical Enid Blyton way.''The Family At Green Meadows'' is a book by itself.It's a beautiful story of a loving family--how the children help their mother,how their father starts walking again after a rather bad injury to both his legs how their grandmother stands as a strong anchor the family can lean on..Something similar, and yet totally different is ''The Family At Red roofs''--I have learnt a lot from all these books---in fact from each and every book of Enid Blyton.

And Hollow Tree House isn't a short story!

[Eddie Muir]

Quite right, Nigel. It is a great book, which I read after your recommendation.

I would search through the shelves of our school library so many years ago--looking for Enid Blyton books and the Blyton signature so very dear to me.

Anita--The Land Of Far Beyond..is based on ''the Pilgrims progress''.There must be a thread but I don't know how to go about it.

It's not always easy to find threads, but try doing a search on the book title (or part of the title, e.g. "Far-Beyond") and refining the search further by selecting options like "The Books" and "Topic Titles Only".

Have you read Enid Blyton's '' Picnic Party'' 13 children are invited and there is a story for each one.The story party was also there.All honest and true stories. You too become one of the guests.

I only came across A Picnic Party With Enid Blyton and A Story Party at Green Hedges when I was an adult. I love the way the reader is invited to join the throng, and the illustrations by Grace Lodge are gorgeous. Delightful books and varied stories.

A Story Party At Green Hedges''was read by me when I was only 10.Unfortunately I lent it to someone and till today I have not got it back,and neither have I been able to buy a vintage edition.A short story in ''The Yellow Story Book'' called --''My Goodness'' is a very good read.--about a rude , little boy who kept saying ''my Goodness'', whenhe had no goodness or kindness in him .How the little folk of the woods teach him a lesson is very much worth reading.Thank you Anita for telling me about the ''threads''.I'll try.

There should also be a forum for the bigger books---The Famous Fives, Find Outers,Secret Seven, Barney R Books, the Circus Stories --The School Stories--the list is endless.There will be so much to write.

[Nair Snehalatha]

Ming,can I politely request you to tell me in which forum I should search for the bigger story books?

[Nair Snehalatha]

In The Green Story Book--thre is a lovely little story--''The Tooth Under The Pillow''--the fairies exchange it for a six peny piece his mother tells him ---but its a lot more than that.Then ther's The Clever KitteN,----''The Enchanted Wheelbarrow''Jimmy And The Elephant Man''--and a lot more to give you hours of delight.

Have you read The Very Big Secret''?A little girl who wants her doll to come alive---and it does? ''Runabout's Holiday'' is such a lovely book-a brownie living in the nursery with Robin and Betty.They are all so happy---What saddened me was when Runabout's holiday ended--and he goes back to Fairyland, promising to visit the children often..Thankyou Julie2owlsdene--Iwill be adventurous,ans search for the books Ilove so much.
