What was the title of the Famous Five adventure published in 1972?
Posted by Candez Maria Tony on February 1, 2012
I am a great fan of Enid Blyton, I love her books too. Hallo Barney, I am first in this site and I am having one question also, in which book is there a girl named Elizabeth Mary Wilhemina Sonning?

I was looking at the websites of the Presidential Libraries for the people who were President when Enid was writing - Franklin D. Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower. Apart from Zerelda Brass, did she talk much about the USA in her books? You will be "happy" to know that it's now politically incorrect in some British and Commonwealth schools to say "American". We got told we have to say "USian" as "not everyone who lives in the continent of the Americas lives in the USA".

Can you tell me in detail about yourself?

Hello, I would like to ask if you could possibly make a movie about The Naughtiest Girl in the School and all the other episodes. Thank you.

Hello Barney! Can you please tell me the name of the Famous Five book where the Five are staying on a farm and the farmer there pronounces buttercup as 'ock' which his wife interprets correctly? Have a good day. :)

Thanks for your answer but I really want to read First Term at Malory Towers. Do you know where it's available?
Posted by Prateeksha on January 30, 2012
Which is better, St. Clare's or Malory Towers?

Did Enid's brothers fight in the First or Second World War?

Thanks again Barney but I was kind of wondering if you could give me a play script since it's got to be in tomorrow! Eeeeek, I just remembered that. Please, please help. I need it today. Many thanks, Love from Amy xxx

Sorry Barney, my name is Amy. I love it that you're a bull terrier, they are quite cute. Please help me! I've got to write a play script about one of Enid Blyton's books. Can you help me? Please reply!

Hi, I have just found a 1972 Enid Blyton The Adventurous Four and was wondering if it's worth anything.
Posted by Shruti on January 25, 2012
Thanks for replying to my query about the Galliano's Circus series and Shadow the Sheepdog. I am from India, thus would like to know how to get Enid's novels secondhand. Have a great day. :)

Hello Barney, I'm referring to the Plum Blossom booklet No. 950 in the Cave =D. I've finished reading The Adventurous Four to the Rescue and am currently reading the The Mystery of the Disappearing Tramp. Both stories are hilarious and great although I'm not accustomed to the Scottish accent in the Adventurous Four. Will get to Julie's The Mystery of Hazel Dene Cottage soon which I'm sure will be enjoyable. Rather slow as there are just so many wonderful stories and illustrations to keep me occupied in the Cave!!! Keep up the good work. Have a fabulous day Barney :-)

Enid is a breath of fresh air amidst all the pollution. I love her Naughtiest Girl series. Elizabeth is a dear. Also I would like to request to republish the Mr. Galliano's Circus books. I got the 2nd one from an old book store and would love to read the others too! Please can anyone tell me why they have stopped publishing the Mr. Galliano's Circus series and other books of Enid like Shadow the Sheepdog? I so want to read them. It's so bad.

I must write a speech on one of Enid Blyton's quotes. Can you please help?

I have 16 hardback and 9 paperback Enid Blyton books from the 60s and 70s. One of the hardbacks is from 1956. Do you know anyone who would buy these in bulk? Thanks.

Thanks Barney. You're the best. By the way, can you give me a description of yourself? Thanks so much!!!

Hello, as a little girl I was a huge fan of the Wishing-Chair stories and Malory Towers... now I have my own daughter who is just six and have started reading the Naughtiest Girl series. We have a box set of "Mystery in..." stories and the Amelia Jane collection as well as the Malory Towers collection but I would like to find a guide as to what age group each is aimed at so I know what to buy next. I have Googled and come up with nothing... even an order in which to buy would be a start. Please help.

I know this is a silly question but is Enid Blyton still alive? Really sorry for my stupidness but I don't know!
Posted by nnluvEB2000 on January 22, 2012
My favourite book was The Circus of Adventure. May I know which continent Tauri Hessia is in? (Is it fictional?)
Posted by Plum Blossom on January 21, 2012
Happy Chinese New Year folks! Thanks to your master for the lovely story and artwork as usual! Greatly appreciated :-)
Posted by Grace on January 21, 2012
I love these books by Enid. All of them are good! My favourite is Amelia Jane Gets Into Trouble!

Can you please tell me the full name of Enid Blyton's daughter Imogen?

The golliwog characters in Noddy were very clearly untrustworthy-black-people stereotypes. They were the sneaky bad guys who were always stealing things and making mischief. While having characters who are sneaky and case mischief is perfectly reasonable - even necessary - in a story like Noddy, turning them into teddy bears instead of dolls that many people consider an offensive and outdated representation of black people is, I think, not entirely unreasonable. I don't think it's necessarily over-the-top to recognise that something is culturally insensitive and offensive as times change and correct some things accordingly.

I like this website very much. It has a lot of information about Enid Blyton. This website is also very userfriendly. I am a great fan of Enid Blyton. I especially like the Famous Five Series, the Mystery (Five Find-Outers) Series, the Secret Series and the St. Clare's Series. A big bone for you, Barney!

I am looking for an Enid Blyton book about a Litter Tree. The story is about children who drop litter next to a tree, the tree is slowly getting covered with the litter and tells the children that if people keep dropping litter there will be no more trees. I used to read this to my children but have lost the book. I want to read it to my grandchildren so any assistance in locating this and/or the title would be very welcome. Thank you.
Posted by Emily on January 19, 2012
Thanks. Well, do you happen to know of anywhere else I might be able to get them in downloadable mp3 files?
Posted by Emily on January 18, 2012
Hi, I am looking for any of the Malory Towers, Famous Five, Secret Seven and St. Clare's books by Blyton in abridged dramatised audio format. I would love to download them with torrents, but can't find any around! Does anyone know of any links to active torrents for this?
Posted by Westie Owner on January 17, 2012
Dear Barney, (Re my earlier email): "In the early 1990s (possibly 1995) a small box set of 'pocket library books' for NODDY were printed. One of them was Noddy went to a farm... it started - "It was a lovely sunny day, Noddy was off to the farm"... then a bit later it said "2 eggs for breakfast, as a special treat, then hop in the car and drive off down the street"... I can't find the set anywhere and do not know what it's called! HELP!... need for my son's special 21st birthday in August 2012... Many thanks!" You replied, "What you are looking for sounds like The Little Treasury of Noddy in Toyland published by Award in 1990 (ISBN 1841350281). This is a set of tiny board books in a case and one of the books is called Noddy at the Farm." These arrived but are the wrong ones!!(sad face)... these ones were published in 2001... the ones I am hunting for are similar but must have been printed in the early 1990s as we had them in 1995. Oh dear Barney, I still haven't got the right ones. Any more ideas? They must be about somewhere!

I'm looking for the red covered Famous Five books (1950s editions). Does anyone know where I can get them?
Posted by Charlie Morgan on January 16, 2012
I really like all of Enid's stories. My granny gives me half a dozen a week to borrow and for Christmas (2011) my grandma gave me The Chimney Corner Collection. Every evening I read Enid's books hoping that when I grow up I can write books as good as hers. My dad's family has hundreds of her books. I just need to ask one question. How many stories have you written?
Posted by Manu on January 15, 2012
I really love Enid Blyton. I also like Pamela Cox. I especially liked Kitty at St. Clare's. I have read all of Enid's books. I have a question. Why are Pamela's books so costly? In India they come up to Rs.125 or more. Please tell me why and can you reduce the cost?

How much does radio or television feature in Enid Blyton's stories?
Posted by Mrs. Anonymous on January 14, 2012
Hi, I vaguely remember a St. Clare's TV series that was broadcast in Arabic. I used to love the series and the books and was wondering if the TV series has been dubbed into English and released on DVD? If so could you give me a direct link as to where I can order/purchase it? And I have an old, second edition of The Twins at St Clare's with a perfect dust wrapper and in good condition. Any idea how much is it worth? Thank you! I really appreciate the help :) xx

Dear Barney, Many thanks for your assistance; it is very much appreciated. Kind regards, Laine.

I have seven original books from Enid's Little Mary Mouse strip book series. The cover on the 1947 Here Comes Mary Mouse Again however is red not blue as on your website. Can you please tell me why this would be? Thank you. Laine

Dear Barney, Re my email about the Noddy 'pocket library books' (January 10th) and your reply, many thanks!... I've ordered the Little Treasury of Noddy in Toyland set. Thanks, I am hoping they are the ones. I didn't put my name as I didn't want my son to see my name!!... but my Westies (two of them) send a waggy tail thank you on my behalf!!

Hi, I have been reading the Pamela Cox Malory Towers books and must admit that they are really good. Still prefer Enid of course!

You are looking in peak condition Barney --- what is your master feeding you on!

Posted by Krystyna on January 6, 2012
As a child I had a lovely old book which I am sure was by Enid Blyton, but which I cannot find any mention of on these pages. It involved a brother and sister, Jeffrey and Susan(?) Greyling who stay the summer with their grandparents, find and play in an old summerhouse, and discover the Greyling treasure, enabling the grandparents to stay in the family home. What is this book called please, if indeed it is one of Enid's? I loved it and would like to find another copy.



Barney says: I'm not sure what you mean because Enid Blyton's last Famous Five book was published in 1963 (and she died in 1968), but perhaps this list will help clarify things.
