All 3 series were started in the 1940s and continued into the 50s. More details can be found if you visit the Cave of Books. https://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/cave-of-books.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

On the other hand it was only approximately the forties and fifties, because large chunks of what was going on then was ignored. By which I mean the war, and also rationing. Sweets and sugar were very limited, but you wouldn't think so from the amount the children managed to consume!

The attitudes and outlooks were that period or perhaps a bit earlier, but it's a very much fictionalised world.

Here's a fascinating film that will show you what the period looked like. Diary for Timothy was to show a baby born in 1944 the world he was born into and to consider what the post-war country could be like
