Thanks, Nigel. It's interesting that Peter Blyton composes and produces music. Enid's nephew Carey Blyton was a composer as we know, and her Aunt May was a musician, and Enid herself was a talented pianist and had a place at the Guildhall School of Music (which she turned down in order to take up teaching and devote more time to her writing).
