I don't know if she had one but it might be the one she had just finished writing.

Enid's favourite books as a children were Water Babies, and Little Women and any encylopieda she could get her hands onto! he also read many of her father's book which were written in different languages, and when he found she was reading them, he locked them away so she couldn't.

Ah, I interpreted the question as which of her own books might have been her favourite.
As a child one of her favourites was "The Princess and the Goblin."

Little woman is a nice book. The other day someone told me that her favorite book was Oliver Twist.

Hmm - I've never heard that before. If you take a look in 'Author of Adventure' on the Society website and have a look at Anita's wonderful biography about Enid, you find a small section dedicated to listed many of Blyton's childhood favourite books. As far as I know Oliver Twist isn't mentioned at all... Here's the link anyway:

Thank you for the link poppy, I have checked this link out before. Even I was not very sure when my friend told me it was Oliver Twist.
