I suppose it depends on the situation...Francis wrote:I must talk (listen to) with Nigel when we meet up on an Enid Blyton event. The trouble is does one take him literally or does he gently pull our legs?
As a person that has written and published a book on Enid Blyton, the speakers I would have liked to listen to and more so to have met are Imogen Smallwood, and the lates George Greenfield and Gillian Baverstock since all the three knew Enid Blyton, personally.Tony Summerfield wrote:Although it was mentioned in another thread I felt it might interest one or two people if this had a thread of its own and as I guess that I am the only person able to produce this list, I thought I had better do it.
