I need some poems from Child Whispers

[Faisal Mahmud]

Hi all,

I'm currently studying on life & works of Enid Blyton. I found that, Child Whispers is the only book he wrote on poems. Can anyone share some of his works from the book Child Whisper?

I don't have a copy of Child Whispers, Faisal, but you'll see from this link that Enid Blyton (who was female, by the way!) wrote several poetry books, as well as contributing numerous poems to magazines and anthologies:

Hi Anita,

Thanks for the information provided. I've only heard about one poetry book. Now I'm looking for some poems to go through...please help me if you have any idea where I can get this. I live in Bangladesh where Blyton's poetry books are not easily available. That's why I'm looking over internet.

I hope this will be of some help, Faisal. I'm from Bangladesh too, by the way.

Blyton's poetry books? Good luck finding ANY books by Enid Blyton that isn't part of a major series.

If you can find a second-hand copy, Faisal, Enid Blyton's Treasury of Verse (Purnell, 1979) would probably be your cheapest option. It contains a varied selection of over a hundred poems by Blyton, attractively illustrated:

It's also worth spending some time going through the "Periodicals" section in the Cave of Books. Many of Enid Blyton's early poems are reproduced there, along with some articles and short stories. They were published in magazines and newspapers:

There are lots of poems under Teachers World, The, though not in every issue so you'll have to click on the links one by one - or use the arrows at the top right to go from one issue to the next. Here is one example - 'Mister Wind':
