So seven years on with hope in my heart I’ve always had my eye out for the original version of the book I had as a child with the Willy Shermele illustrations. Yes I have the stories, but it has been bugging me for years as I knew the version I had was something to do with night time tales. Again, i...

Hello Tony I seem to have found 3 books which contain illustrations by Willy Shermele these are: My Enid Bltyon Story Book The Good Morning Book Enid Blyton's Gift Book I have also found two other books: Big Story Book Tell me a Tale Book These two books are also Illustrated by Willy Shermele. As I ...

the use of watercolours and ink in these prints are nice.

The Good Morning Book came yesterday. The warmth of nostalgia that came over me whilst reading the Dog and the Bear in bed last night was beyond anything I could put in writing. I am more convinced that my version was a big volume of all three Willy Shermele illustrated books. Now I know who the ill...

I have just finished Five on a Treasure Island and loved every minute of it. I do not understand why these books were band at my school, but pleased that 30 years later I have found this site and started reading them. I'm going to read the Enchanted wood next. The only issue I have now is that I thi...

I started Five On a Treasure Island, this is the first time I have ever read an Enid Blyton novel. Great things Kindles especially on the London Commute to work. I'm 1/4 way through already. I love that Anne wanted to take 15 dolls on holiday. That was the sort of thing I used to do.

Thank you all so much for welcoming me and your suggestions, you have all been so kind. I feel that my eyes have just been opened to a magical world for the first time. I'm loving Five on a Treasure Island, I'm quarter of the way through on my morning commute. one of my colleagues mentioned a series...

The lady from Etsy contacted me. Looks like my book was a compliation of all three books with the Willy Shermele Illustrations: http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/book-details.php?id=883&title=Enid+Blyton%27s+Gift+Book http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/book-details.php?id=878&title=My+Enid+...

Thank you Carlotta I think I will start with the Famous Five. Seems a good choice. I also found the book I was looking for as a child. Pete recognised the illustrations and pointed me in the right direction. It was the Good Morning Book second edition. I think they must have made another one in the ...

Thank you Pete Just found one on ebay with the same illustrations in it. It was the Good Morning book. There must have been a third edition printed in the 1970's as the cover was completely different but the inside covers are the same. Thank you so much. I can't believe I've found it after all these...

here is another illustraion I found that is in the book:

Anita I'm very excited, I've found the illustrator and prints from the book. I have no idea what the book is called by it is definitely the illustrations. http://img0.etsystatic.com/011/0/7172827/il_570xN.464445348_rpny.jpg http://img0.etsystatic.com/009/0/7172827/il_570xN.464447920_3fmf.jpg http://...

Our primary school was band from reading Enid Blyton, so I grew up with a stigma attached to them. I remember collecting the Rainbow Theatre Cassettes, I had all the Roald Dahl ones and went on to collect the Enid Blyton ones. An Uncle brought me the Secret Seven Ditto tape and I remember listening ...

Thank you for that Tony, another set to collect

Hello Anita

Thank you for your welcome and response. I am extremely grateful, I do hope to find this book one day. I seem to remember a toy duck it was yellow on red wheels
