I thought you all may enjoy a giggle.
Aren't we lucky we have these learned newspapers to give us information about Enid Blyton.
This article in the Western Daily Press advises us that Enid Blyton's real name is Mary Pollock.
Obviously 'some' journalists don't do any research, there are plenty of articles and books that correctly show Enid's life details.

The name of the auction house - Tamlyns - reminds me of Tammylan!

Ah perhaps that's where they got the inside information.Anita Bensoussane wrote:The name of the auction house - Tamlyns - reminds me of Tammylan!
Despite their inability to give accurate information it sounds as though they have a lot of children's books to auction, would be good to see the list.

I wonder if the signed copy is inscribed by Enid Blyton or Mary Pollock.
