Nearly 47 years after her demise, Enid Blyton continues to be one of the most favourite authors of children's literature. Here are the top five series for children penned by Blyton:
The Famous Five series: The Famous Five are a group of four children who, together with Timmy the dog, have exciting adventures together. Julian, Dick and Anne are siblings who are often sent to stay with their aunt and uncle at their home on Kirrin Island in Cornwall during the school holidays. They team up with their tomboy cousin, Georgina, a.k.a George - and George's dog, Timmy.
The Secret Seven series: The Secret Seven Society consists of Peter, his sister Janet, and their friends Jack, Colin, George, Pam and Barbara. The children meet in a shed with "S.S." on the door. Peter, as head of the society, makes sure that everyone abides by the rules! While munching rock-buns and guzzling home-made lemonade, the Seven puzzle over peculiar goings-on in their local community, aiming to solve mysteries and put things right.
Malory Towers series: The Malory Towers series has been popular among many children since the publication of the first book in 1946. It is about a girls' boarding school located in picturesque surroundings by the sea in Cornwall. Heroine Darrell Rivers arrives at Malory Towers at the age of twelve, excited and eager. Impressed by Headmistress Miss Grayling's inspiring words of welcome, she determines to be one of Malory Towers' successes. However, things do not go as smoothly as she had envisaged. Her hot temper gets her into hot water on more than one occasion and she despairs of ever having a special friend of her own.
The Wishing Chair series: When Peter and Mollie wander into an antique shop to buy a present for their mother's birthday, little do they know how enthralling life is about to become. Quite by accident, they acquire a wishing-chair which sprouts wings and flies them wherever they want to go.
Noddy: Noddy is an icon. Even today, 60 years after his 'birth' and just over 40 years after his creator's death, he is probably the main character to be associated with the name Enid Blyton. For many children, Noddy was their introduction to Enid Blyton and once they were hooked there was a tasty menu of Blyton books to move on to.
