The Enid Blyton Society

its about a girl who goes to live with her aunt on the Scottish moors her aunt has an ability to communicate with animals its very lonely out on the moors and she has no children to play with. she makes friends with lots of animals,and plays with them.
my mother says she read a book like this when she was about 10 or 11 she douse not remember much more about it except that she liked it a lot.
any ideas

This might not be the right book because some details differ, but I'll mention it just in case - The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Mary Lennox goes to live with her uncle in a big house on the Yorkshire moors (though her uncle is away a lot so she mostly sees the housekeeper, maid and gardener). Mary is lonely but she gets to know a boy called Dickon, who teaches her about gardening and helps her make friends with birds and other wild creatures. Many more things happen, but I don't want to give away the plot.

I think the book you are looking for might be "Seal Morning" by Rowena Farre. It is more autobiography than fiction. It is about a young girl who goes to live with her Aunt Miriam in a remote seaside cottage in the Scottish Highlands. She befriends all sorts of wild animals, squirrels, deer, otters, even a rat but the closest friend she has is Lora the seal pup. The book is an enchanting account of a private and idyllic life far from civilization. My copy has illustrations by Raymond Sheppard who did the pictures for Enid Blyton's Adventures of Pip books.

thanks a lot Kate Mary my mother says it was called "seal morning " she cant believe i got the right answer so fast.
now that i know the name i will see if i can find it in the library or otherwise i can buy it.

It sounds like a lovely book, I had never heard of it before, I'm going to see if I can find it in the library too!

I like the sound of it too, especially a copy with Raymond Sheppard illustrations.
