Home-Made Games Based on Blyton Books

I was really meaning I'd post more photos of games ...but I will also post a few Kenilworth photos somewhere on this site

I'd love to see the Kenilworth photos too, Robert! Just remembered, we even have a thread under General Natter for "Castles of Interest" http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/foru ... 0&p=173059" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for the link to that castle thread - I'll post a couple there.

I was really meaning I'd post more photos of games ...but I will also post a few Kenilworth photos somewhere on this site - I'm sure it's something Enid Blyton fans would like, as it's a castle! Its a lovely castle and quite a few good additions have been put in place in recent years - an Elizabethan garden, designed for when Elizabeth I stayed there has been recreated - and now they have stairs and walkways that allow visitors to go right to the top of the ruins - spectacular views! Yes - There was a book called 'Kenilworth' written by Sir Walter Scott - a fictional account of life in the times of Robert Dudley, who was trying to marry Elizabeth I. Robert Dudley lived in the castle.

I should have started with reading the oldest post . You just answered my Robert Dudley question.
In 1981 one couldn't go inside, just walk around the outside from what I remember.

Mostly the castle is a ruin but the gatehouse is intact and furnished. It was lived in and used as a house until the 1930's. I think this opened to the public only about 15 years ago.

The board was basically a map of the dungeons of Kirrin Castle

I am sure that you mean essentially, not basically. I can't imagine anything that you would do would be just basic! I'd love to play it, too.
