Enid Blyton's The Story Of My Life

Post by Eddie Muir »

I'm looking for a copy of Enid Blyton's THE STORY OF MY LIFE, which was first published in 1952. I don't know if there were subsequent editions. For my needs any edition would be welcome, with or without a dustwrapper. If anyone can help, please let me know. Many thanks.

My advice would to keep a very close eye on Ebay. I did just that and a few weeks ago purchased a copy of The Story of My Life at a very reasonable price. The cover was in a very poor condition but the book itself was in very good order.

You hear many horror stories about Ebay but I have completed over 150 transactions over the past six years without a problem, the secret is to check the sellers feedback profile.

I finally managed to get a copy of The Story Of My Life at the end of last November (it arrived on my birthday - 24th). It cost me £15, which is exceptional value. The book itself was in perfect condition. The dustwrapper was tatty, but I have managed to sort this out with the aid of the Photoshop programme on my computer. I'm very pleased with the result. :D :D
