Synopsis
Fully revised and expanded edition of this comprehensive and light-hearted A-Z of Enid Blyton characters, to be published on Enid Blyton's birthday. Written with the full endorsement of The Enid Blyton Estate, the book will be beautifully presented with original illustrations and designed in a second colour. Noddy, Amelia Jane, Darrell Rivers, Moon Face...all the old favourites are here along with plenty of facts, details and insights into over a thousand of Blyton's most memorable and enduring characters. In this expanded edition, even more of Blyton's best-loved books are covered, including her Farm Stories and the Barney Stories. A fascinating and, at times, humorous look into the imagination of Britain's most well-loved storyteller.
