Anyway, up till now, I have read 6 chapters - which I found VERY fascinating. I particularly liked Chapter 4 - The Pied Piper among the Crtics - it really shows how the critics have been misguided, and how Blyton still managed to remain popular.
In Appendix I, I found this line very interesting:
On the following pages are copies of Questionnaires sent out to potential respondents, predominantly in 1993. The first is the adult version, the second, the children's, which is slightly reworded and simplified. This said, many children got hold of the adult version, and completed this. Also, some parents were so keen to participate that thy filled out their children's questionnaires!

Will point out some more serious lines later - maybe after I've taken a shower! [goes off whistling]
