I doubt it... I haven't seen it before. I've read to page 10 and it's very interesting but must take a break. I'll comment when I've read it all. - I grinned at the -"There is a strong Blyton fan culture, both online
and offline, which appeals not just to ageing adults, but to children as well." Well, I know which category I fall into!

I've come across it before but have never had time to read it in full. I hope to do so one of these days!
