Re: Enid Blyton/Mary Pollock
I think it was very interesting that Enid chose Pollock not Blyton.

Re: Enid Blyton/Mary Pollock
Sorry, that doesn't make sense to me. If she was choosing a pseudonym of course she wouldn't choose her existing name?

Re: Enid Blyton/Mary Pollock
The choice of the name 'Mary Pollock' seems a fairly simple one, as has been pointed out, it was her middle name and her (at that time) married surname. However, I've always wondered why in her early days she chose the other names that she did.
In a rare flash of inspiration, today I suddenly think I've worked out her connection with 2 of her other names:-
Christopher - she attended St. Christopher's school as a child.
Becky Kent - she came from Beckenham in Kent.
However, I can't see any obvious link with the name 'Audrey St Lo'. Can anyone shed any light on this one?

Re: Enid Blyton/Mary Pollock
Interesting theories, Katharine - I like them!
I haven't a clue about Audrey St Lo. Maybe Enid once had a friend called Audrey Lots - or a doll called Audrey which got lost!
