Enid Blyton Interview

Post by Julie2owlsdene »

Discovered on You Tube an interview with Enid Blyton, from 1963 as she speaks to the BBC about her career. Sorry I'm not sure how to put a link to this interview, but if you go to You Tube, and put in Enid Blyton, it comes up almost immediately. The interview lasts for about 3 minutes.

Not only are the Famous Five video's posted here, but a three part video of The Valley of Adventure also.

There are also links to Sunny Stories, the biographical film starring Maureen Lipman as Enid, in 8 parts.

If you haven't seen it, I would highly reccomend it.

I believe the interview is actually on the BBC web site - under radio. It was about a year ago.
This is a Green Knight Book which means that it is a book by one of the most popular authors of all.
