The Fairies' Shoemaker - Enid Blyton

The Fairies Shoemaker & Other Stories by Enid Blyton. What is it? A book collection of children s stories written by Enid Blyton. Special Features? Contains 14 short fantasy fairytale stories, many with an educational moral to them. I think this is a delightful book and actually bought this for myself when I was a kid, yes! I used to love reading at school and I came across a lot of Enid Blyton books (though I did not take any notice of the author at the time!). It was only when I was talking about our favourite books as kids, my friend ( who was even more of a bookworm, she actually introduced me to a lot of famous literary works when we were kids which I ...
