Same Title - Different Story?
Sometimes it can be a bit confusing trying to collect all the different Enid Blyton titles!
There seem to be two books named Rainy Day Stories with completely different content!

Are there many other titles of her work that are duplicated,that contain different content?
Aren't there two versions of 'The hidey Hole'-an early short story and also a novel released in the 1960's (or maybe the shorter version was just an extract??)

Re: Same Book Title- Different Content?
That's one good thing about the Cave of Books, and having an expert on hand like, Tony, Pete. I too was confused once about two titles and each story was a different one, but our expert was on hand then too.

Re: Same Book Title- Different Content?
From what I've seen quite a few of the Deans and Purnells etc are short story collections, many are new collections and others are similar to older editions but with some stories missing or added. There are even books now which contain just ONE short story, the one that appears in the title of an earlier collection - I've seen a few people be very disappointed after buying a book thinking it'd be a collection when it's a single story.

The Boy Next Door and The Enchanted Wood are both the titles of full-length novels and short stories.
If I remember correctly, there are also two different short stories called 'You Simply Never Know'.

Re: Same Book Title - Different Content?
There are a number of titles that have been used on two completely different short stories, you just have to check the indexes for Sunny Stories and Teachers World. I have always meant to produce a combined index, but it is something I never got round to. I am not even sure that there is a published one for Teachers World, but I do have it on my computer.
You could have a bit of fun trying to list titles that have been used more than twice. One that springs to mind is What a Surprise as I know of at least four different stories with this title!

Same Title - Different Story?
Merged with an older topic.
Books and stories that share the same title.
There seems to be a few of these in Enid's work. How many have you come across?
I have just been looking at One Christmas Night by Enid Blyton.

Looking at the details in the cave, there seems to be a few of these stories that share the same name, but the story is different.
This sort of thing must make Tony's job of keeping the cave in order quite a challenge!

Similar title, different story.
Not sure if the book on the right is in the cave, but the book on the left is:
