In case you don't know what a ditloid is "A ditloid is a type of word puzzle, in which a phrase, quotation, date, or fact must be deduced from the numbers and abbreviated letters in the clue. "
For example,
24 H in a D = 24 Hours in a Day
52 C in a P = 52 Cards in a Pack
20000 LU the S = Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
So here's the first Blyton one, can you guess the phrase?
4c + 1d = TFF

It was:
7 children + 1 spaniel = The Secret Seven. But it could have been 7 children + one Scamper = The Secret Seven.
