Really, the only way of getting the original text and illustrations is to buy pre-1960 editions - and even then I think some of the illustrations may be missing!

Of course once the copyright expires on Enid's books in a few years time, we can start badgering Tony to publish an "Official Enid Blyton Society Complete Collected Works", with copious illustrations, and all gollliwogs and other 'Un-PC' content lovingly restored!

[Rob Houghton]

If it was April 1st, I would announce that Tony is actually doing just that even as we speak!

Quite impressive but I suspect not too many early editions included. Who's the 'bird' on your avatar, Pete? I recognised you immediately.

Pete and Audrey!

[Francis]

Must be from that film Pete made.............'Charade' and that was in 1963!

[pebe]

thank you for your answers. I have already some Blyton HB with DJ of 1970.
And I own the 1st editions in French
Does someone collect the old UK editions in PDF? It's interesting for the searchs in the texts.

[Machupicchu14]

Hi Pebe!! I think your avatar is wonderful!

[Darrell71]

It is, isn't it? Very humorous.

[pebe]

I think that you can guess the title of this avatar. There is an important clue...

[Tony Summerfield]

Possibly it comes from 'Le Club des Cinq Joue at Gagne'?

[pebe]

Yes, it's the French 1st edition (1956) of "Five On Kirrin Island Again". The clue was the telescope.

[Rob Houghton]

I love the depiction of the children - but hate the depiction of Timmy - he looks too comical! Lovely colours though.

[Tony Summerfield]

I don't have many Rfrench Famous Five editions, but they do have some nice colour illustrations in them. I am sorry you don't like the depiction of Dagobert, Rob!
