Six Cousins at Mistletoe Farm - Enid Blyton

Malory Towers - Enid Blyton

Out of all the school stories that Enid Blyton wrote, Malory Towers was my favourite set. The 6 books in the series follow a group of girls at a boarding school in the south of England, with each novel describing a year in their lives. There are certain story lines and themes that run throughout the series, but each book is written so they can be read individually, and in the first couple of chapters you get all the info you need to get you up to speed on what’s been happening.

Enid Blyton in general

and haven't read an Enid Blyton book for a few years because i've moved onto more macabre authors such as King, Herbert and Banks. But, if it wasn't for Enid Blyton, i probably wouldn't be bothering with books at all. I would be just another mindless zombie sitting in front of the t.v. 24/7. I first read a Famous Five book when i was about 6 (although only because i was miles ahead of everyone else in terms of reading age) and ended up buying all of them and some Secret Seven and Mystery books as well. They were what kept me going throughout my childhood and i don't think it would've anywhere near as enjoyable without her. Not even Roald Dahl ...
