Noddy Goes to Toyland – How has Blyton’s original text fared in a modern edition?

Posted on September 16, 2015 by Fiona

Famous Five 90s Style: Five Have a Wonderful Time, part 1

Posted on September 4, 2015 by pippastef

I have decided to do Five Have a Wonderful Time in two parts, because it is a two-part episode and because I think that this adaptation needs to be looked at in two different chunks. A lot of character development … Continue reading →

My nineteenth Noddy book: Mr Plod and Little Noddy
