I had a great time at the Enid Blyton Day and managed to buy three books, two Put-Em-Rights and The Woods of Adventure, and bought a cassette for my friend Poppy which Sophie and Imogen Smallwood signed for her. Never heard of these books and am reading one of my Put-Em-Right books and it's great. How many books are in the series? There was quite a bit of stuff I would love to have bought but sadly too expensive. It was great seeing Sophie again - we were at the London Wetland Centre's Big London Bird Watch 2012 last month and it was great and I got to meet Kate Humble and got her autograph. She was very nice. Will there be an Enid Blyton Day next year?
Barney says: I'm glad you enjoyed the Enid Blyton Day, Sue, but I'm surprised to hear that you bought two Put-Em-Rights books as I thought there was only one, The Put-Em-Rights. The Woods of Adventure is a novelisation of the New Zealand TV episode which was very loosely based on The Castle of Adventure, and the style is very different from Enid Blyton's style. It's too early to say whether there will be an Enid Blyton Day next year, though it would certainly be nice to have one!

Barney give me the answer first I'm wtng for youBarney says: I almost deleted this message (as I did your other four messages) because it's so poorly written, but I thought I'd put it up as an example of the stuff I sometimes have to wade through. If you know the names of the children on the covers, you already know more about them than I do!

I have just been given an old plate with a picture of Tessie Bear handing Noddy a basket, with the words 'Tessie Bear does the shopping' underneath. The plate also has a smaller Golliwog and Rabbit around the inside of the plate. The outer rim has two levels of triangular embossing all around the plate. the colour is yellow and it is about 5 inch in diameter. There is no maker's mark on the back of the plate. Can anyone please help me to identify the plate?
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.Barney says: There were a great many Noddy plates of every shape and size produced from the 1950s to the 1990s, so it is very difficult to say who your plate was made by or when. I have even seen a Noddy dog bowl, but it didn't have a picture of Bumpy Dog on it!

Gina, you could just sell your books on the web like Barney said. Another website is Amazon by the way.

Hi Barney, Now that Chorion has broken up and sold its assets, do you know who now has the full ownership to Enid Blyton copyright? Does ONE company own ALL the rights to Enid Blyton or are different aspects of Enid Blyton broken up and owned by different companies? All information is very much appreciated. Thank you.Barney says: The rights to Noddy were bought by an American company, Classic Media, which also holds the rights to Postman Pat. The rest of the Enid Blyton copyright was bought by Hachette UK (Hodder Children's Books).
