I didn't bother trying to load the preview before, but I've just done so now. It only loaded partially and all I got was some of the text that's already in the synopsis.
For the discussion of all aspects of the life and works of Enid Blyton.

Verified Purchase So I got this when it was a freebie and honestly I still feel a bit robbed! I read so many Blyton books when I was a child and now passed them on to my daughter, a good 100 of them, but I never knew anything about the lady author herself. This looked ok I thought....its only 20 something pages so its not going to be in-depth, but seriously if you are going to write a book at least make sure its been proof read....at one point it states bearing in mind she died in 1968, 'to commemorate the 100 year anniversay of her death' erm well its not 2068 is it? It looks like this booklet has been gleaned from several articles that you can research yourself from the list in the back of the book. Imagine your child comes home from school and says my literacy homework is to find out as much about Enid Blyton as I can on the internet and make a booklet....this would be the result. Its a few intersting factoids about the lady, her life and body of works, I probably wouldn't bother with this and if you are reading this review you have the internet so go and look her up on wikipedia instead!

Don't waste your money on this third-rate little e-booklet, which won't tell you anything about Enid Blyton in its paltry 25 pages that you couldn't easily find out for free in a five-minute search on the internet. Far better to spend a little more and buy Barbara Stoney's highly-respected and thoroughly researched biography.
