The Enid Blyton Society

Hello,
I am looking for a collection of stories by Enid Blyton. The cover was a midnight blue and it had many different short stories. It would have been bought for me in the mid 1960's but may have been printed earlier. Illustrations were black, red, and white. There was a story about a fairy who wanted to use the magic in her wand to see the fairy queen but used it instead to save an elf trapped in muck. Another story had an elf who made faces warned his face would be stuck when the wind changed. I have looked and looked. The book was a cherished piece I lost in a house fire and read to my own children. Thank you

Have a look in the Cave of books, darus92, and you may see the book you're hoping to find inside there.

Quite intriguing! I remember both these stories, but I've done a 'Cave' search on here and can't find anything much at all. Was this a big sized book or small book?

I find it interesting that the illustrations were coloured with black and red - sounds like a book that was maybe older than the 1960's. As the cover was 'midnight blue' - was this plain boards, or the general colour of the wrapper?

Yes I have went through the cave of books and can not find it either. It may be older than the 1960's but was sent to me in the mid 1960's from my great Aunt in Liverpool (I live in the States). It may have been one of her children's books and she was recycling. I'm quite sure it was a board book cover not a jacket style and it was at least a normal 9 in x 11 inch size. I thought it said something about sleepy time tales but what is in the cave of books is not what I had. I also had the Bedside Book #7 that I found in the cave but the book I'm looking for was much thicker and appeared older.

It may have had a jacket before you got hold of it, Darus. So you might not recognise it in the cave even if you saw it.
