The Quest for England: In Search of Enid Blyton

In my continuing quest for England and Englishness, Julia and I have gone in search of The Famous Five and The Secret Seven.

Enid Mary Blyton (11 August 1897 – 28 November 1968) was an English children’s writer whose books have been among the world’s best-sellers since the 1930s, selling more than 600 million copies. Blyton’s books are still enormously popular, and have been translated into 90 languages. She wrote on a wide range of topics including education, natural history, fantasy, mystery, and biblical narratives and is best remembered today for her Noddy, Famous Five and Secret Seven series.

Is this a version of England or just nostalgia?
