I was fascinated to learn that Phantom of Pulp has actually ordered Stephen's book and has intentions of reviewing it!

At 'AssociatedContent.Com', reviewer Jonathan Musere had the following to say:
Stephen Isabirye convincingly delves into the mind of Enid Blyton as he offers his comprehensive and remarkably detailed analysis of Enid Blyton. This is first analysis of Enid Blyton from an international perspective, and the book is a lengthy wealth of details. The perspective goes beyond Blyton's "Famous Five" series, bringing into perspective and comparison other writings by Blyton. Isabirye goes into the social backdrop, the environmental and political aspects of the era of Blytonian writing, the setting of the powerful British Empire and colonial incursions at the time, the ancient and contemporary literature that likely influenced Blyton.
Sounds like heaven to me.
I've ordered it, and will offer a blog post once I've thoroughly devoured it.
