Barney says: Which films do you mean, Wendy? Do you mean films based on particular books, or films about Enid Blyton's life? Barney says: Cheers, A4! When it comes to continuation books by other authors, or books which have been rewritten to the point where they differ greatly from the originals, it's up to the publisher whether the author is identified on the cover. Some publishers choose to acknowledge the author - Anne Digby's name is on the cover of her "Naughtiest Girl" sequels - while other publishers either put the author's name inside or don't mention it at all (meaning that young readers will wrongly assume they are buying a genuine Enid Blyton book).Barney says: Every day spent in the Cave is an adventure, thanks, A4! I think the book you mean is "The Adventurous Four - Trapped!" It started life as a shortish story of four chapters in "Enid Blyton's Omnibus!" in 1952, with the title 'Off With the Adventurous Four Again!' In 1998 Clive Dickinson added a lot more chapters of his own to turn the story into a full-length novel, meaning that much of the content is not by Enid Blyton. Also in 1998, "The Adventurous Four" was retitled "The Adventurous Four - Shipwrecked!" and "The Adventurous Four Again!" was retitled "The Adventurous Four - Stranded!" Some alterations were made to the texts, including name changes.Barney says: Tomorrow I might need some more bones and biscuits to keep my strength up! ;-)Barney says: It sounds as though you have masses of time, Alison! If I were you, I'd start keeping a notebook about Enid Blyton. You can jot down anything you learn about her, and anything interesting that occurs to you while reading her books. Then you'll have plenty of material to work with when you come to write the article.See more messages and post one of your own!
