At the start of a new month, from Teachers World in 1929 we have Enid Blyton's Seasonal Notes for April.

Friday, 1st March, 2013
As we enter a new month I have added an additional feature to our regular 'Monthly Enid Blyton Page'. This will take you into the Periodical section of the Cave, and from Teachers World in 1929 we have Enid Blyton's Seasonal Notes for March. I will be adding other links at the start of future months.

Over this last weekend I have given a facelift to some of the early Newnes books, The Enchanted Wood, Mr. Galliano's Circus, Adventures of the Wishing-Chair and The Adventurous Four. This is a chance to see some decent images of some very scarce books. If time and energy allow I will try to redo some other early editions.

Today I have added new reviews by Terry Gustafson of three of the Old Thatch Readers, The Talking Teapot and Other Stories, Round the Year Stories and Children of Other Days. I have also added more records and cassettes to the Audio Section.

Friday, 1st February, 2013
I have added a review by Terry Gustafson of The Adventures of Mr. Pink-Whistle.

Sunday, 6th January, 2013
I have added Bill's Diary 1947 to the Continuation Books section of the Cave of Books. As it is again a long account I have also had to load it in three parts. Although I haven't added to this updates page since September I have continued adding bits and pieces to the Cave of Books on almost a daily basis and there are plenty of new things in all sections for those that like to explore!

Sunday, 16th September, 2012
I have added a review by Terry Gustafson of Enid Blyton's Book of the Year.

Saturday, 4th August, 2012
I have added Bill's Diary 1946 to the Continuation Books section of the Cave of Books. As it is a long account I have had to load it in three parts.

Monday, 16th July, 2012
I have added a review by Terry Gustafson of The Runaway Kitten. More records and cassettes have been added to the Audio Section and I have also added all the covers and illustrations of School Friend to the Periodicals Section. Four series now have the foreign titles above the reviews, Famous Five, Secret Seven, Find-Outers Mystery and Adventure Series. More series will be added in the coming days.

Wednesday, 11th July, 2012
There have been two recent additions to the website. The shop now has its own button on the left hand side of the Home Page. The five new booklets that were first available on the Enid Blyton Day are all in there waiting to be bought! I have also added to the Famous Five section the titles in ten European languages - although several of the Italian titles are missing at present as is one Russian title. As there was no special section for this I have put them above the reviews of each book. At some stage I may add foreign language titles to some of the other series.

Monday, 25th June, 2012
Over the past few weeks a number of records and cassettes have been added to the Audio Section and several new things have also been added to the Periodicals Section. These include covers for a new discovery, Bibby's Hearth & Farm, covers for The Nature Lover and the first two country letters by Enid Blyton (more may follow) and also a cover for the last listed issue of Crescendo. I may not update this page as often as I should, but things are being added to the Cave on almost a daily basis.

Monday, 30th April, 2012
I have added a review by Terry Gustafson of We Want a Story.

Saturday, 28th April, 2012
I have added a new category to the Tempo cassettes Enid Blyton's 6 Favourite Stories. This is a Tempo Car Cassette and it makes me wonder just how many other Tempo cassettes need to be added to the Audio Section. I am sure there are also several Pickwick Ditto cassettes to add and I know that there are more Phonogram records and cassettes out there, so any help would be much appreciated!

Friday, 27th April, 2012
I have added a review by Terry Gustafson of The Exciting Birthday.

Saturday, 21st April, 2012
I have added a review by Terry Gustafson of Rambles with Uncle Nat. Although I haven't updated this page for a few months, I have been continually adding bits and pieces to the Cave of Books on a regular basis and the site is updated on all new Blyton books even if they have not yet been published, the Egmont Collections and Hodder Collections being the newest additions. I have also added quite a few things to the Audio section.

Wednesday, 30th November, 2011
I have added three new series of Templar Books to the Short Story section in the Cave. I have also updated the Australian Weeties Strip Books adding a contents section to each which helps source where the story came from. Over the next month I will be giving a makeover to this section improving the Contents details and also adding some better images to the Artwork.

Wednesday, 23rd November, 2011
I have added a review by Julie Heginbotham of Enid Blyton's Magazine Annual Number 2. I have also added the wraparound dustwrapper to the artwork and further items and images to the Audio Section.

Sunday, 30th October, 2011
I have added a review by Terry Gustafson of The Red-Spotted Handkerchief. I have been adding things to the new Audio Section on almost a daily basis for the last few weeks, but could still do with help on missing images and information. I have also added details of Journal 46 to the Journal Catalogue. It is currently at the printers, so it won't be sent out for another two weeks. Finally I have added a number of Mary Mouse Books to various places in the Cave of Books.

Sunday, 25th September, 2011
I have added a review by Terry Gustafson of The Story of Our Queen. I am still working on the new Audio Section in the Cave of Books, but I would welcome any suggestions of things that aren't yet mentioned, or indeed images of the many items that still don't have one.

Friday, 2nd September, 2011
Both the Audio Section in the Cave of Books and the five new Popular Series buttons on the Home Page are now fully operational.
