Forty-four years ago today, on 28 November 1968, Enid Blyton passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 71.
It is a testament to her that so many years later she is still read and loved by so many people, both modern children and adults who remember her from their childhood.
Let us raise a glass of ginger-beer and say three cheers for the wonderful and one-of-a-kind Enid Blyton, hip-hip-hurrah!
