Enid's Signature?

[Lucky Star]

That book was published in 1935 by Newnes

The signature looks fake to me as well. However what really intrigues me here is how Tony knew the book when no details are given in the picture.

Thanks to all for the clarification.
Anyone fancy telling the seller the autograph is a dud?

Perhaps it would be better coming from you, Pete. You've got tact.

I wonder if I sent the seller this postcard for comparison might he thank me effusively John?

The illustrator (Bip Pares) only illustrated one book for Enid Blyton!

Doubt it, Pete. Probably keep the postcard and offer it for sale though.

I wish this seller would post a clearer/nearer picture of the signature!

After enlarging it myself, it doesn't look quite right (to me)??

[Tony Summerfield]

That one is genuine, Pete, but it is rather a messy page - I don't even have to look all that closely at the signature as I can see that it is right from the 'love from'.

[pete9012S]

Thank you Tony. I appreciate your confirmation.
I didn't know Enid occasionally wrote a loop on the L Blyton which is why it confused me.

[pete9012S]

An experts opinion on authenticity would be interesting as this book was published in 1967.

[Tony Summerfield]

I'm afraid this one is a definite forgery - I hope you haven't bought it!

[pete9012S]

Many thanks for that info Tony.
Something about the date of 1967 made me hesitate from buying it and ask for a superior opinion.

Best Wishes

Pete

I can't really see Enid scrawling her signature over the front of a book. Always sensible to check with the master!

[pete9012S]

Yes!

The book was part of a larger collection for sale at £2,249.00

I have received an offer to buy the whole collection for £1,995 from the seller, but I can't see enough detail/info/ condition of the books to see if this price is remotely reasonable!

This signature doesn't look right to me - but I usually get these things wrong!
