Nice picture, moonraker - thanks for sharing! I haven't seen that one before, but it's obviously from the same session as this, very famous, one:

I've seen another one somewhere, from the same session, with just Enid, Imogen and Laddie, but I can't find it now.

For my 100th post, here is my translation of that article:

A Gap in Madonna's Reading Knowledge

Pop icon Madonna has just written a children's book, yet knows nothing about the works of a fellow-author that have been devoured by millions of children. According to press reports on Monday, Madonna replied "Who's she? Is she good?" when asked whether she was emulating the creator of the Famous Five, Enid Blyton (1897-1968, photo below). Tony Summerfield of the Enid Blyton Society was understanding. "Madonna is American and Enid Blyton is practically unknown in the USA."

And that's his century ...

Interested that Tony seems to have said that Enid Blyton is practically unknown in the States. According to an American lady on radio 4 "Noddy is a great favourite".
Also the "press button" book of Noddy has a very American accent, as in "jeepers creepers" ! and "Gee Whizz"!
What would Enid have said, especially as I believe she was thrilled when the idea of Noddy was first mooted, as British children would not have to rely on the dreaded Disney!
I think Madonna is being let off too lightly!
