Re: Some Photos of Enid I hadn't Seen :)
They're lovely photos. I think someone provided a link to some of them before but I don't recall seeing the last one. Joseph Abbey's sketch of Goon can clearly be seen on the mantelpiece and it's also interesting to see what looks like the artwork for two book covers on the wall. One looks to me as if it might be the cover of The Adventures of Pip, illustrated by Raymond Sheppard. I can't quite make out the design on the other cover, but perhaps it's More Adventures of Pip? The artwork for both "Pip" covers was on display at an exhibition in Lavenham in the autumn. I had hoped to go and see it but unfortunately I was ill. There was some talk of the artwork possibly being for sale - does anyone know if it sold?

Some nice ones there for sure. They seem to be from a wide mix of years. In some she looks quite youthful, in a couple she is definitely much older. Thanks for posting them, its always very interesting to see new pics of Enid.

Re: Some Photos of Enid I hadn't Seen :)
Very interesting photos. Many thanks for posting them! The Top Foto website explains the background to each one (I was intrigued by the first and fifth ones!).
If you search for just 'Blyton' on that site a few other things come up, including some press photos of the 90s Famous Five. Here's my favourite:
