My twenty-fourth (and last) Noddy book: Noddy Meets Father Christmas
It has taken a little over a year, but I have now reached the last of the 24 books that make up the main and original Noddy series. I started with the second book and I am finishing with the … Continue reading

We’re back after our weeks holiday. I was in Shropshire with my family and Fiona was enjoying the delights of Loch Awe near Oban with hers and we’re ready and raring to go with this weeks blogs and to be … Continue reading

We are going to be taking next week as a holiday from blogging, as by some great coincidence we are both going to be away on holiday. And not together! I’ll be on the west coast of Scotland not too … Continue reading
The Secret Series on TV: The Secret Mountain
This is the final episode in the series, and I have to say I’m rather glad! As with all the episodes major changes have been made to the plot and cast list. The book has the Arnold children plus Prince … Continue reading

Yay, Monday again! Yesterday was beautiful in the UK, I wore shorts and was able to be in the sun. I didn’t get much chance to go out and have an adventure in the sun like the five but nevertheless … Continue reading
My twenty-third Noddy book: Noddy and Tessie Bear
This is perhaps an unusual tale simply because no real disaster befalls anyone in Toyland, or Noddy in particular. Nobody’s bike is destroyed, nobody’s car is stolen or damaged or breaks down. The worst thing that happens to Noddy is … Continue reading

I’m a bit late to do this as we had a BBQ last night and time rather got away from us. Coming up this week anyway:
The Twins at St Clare’s – How has Blyton’s original text fared in a modern edition? part 7
I’ve just noticed I named the previous two parts as ‘part five’. So I’ll skip six and move on to seven! This will be the last one as I got through the final five chapters tonight. All previous parts: one, … Continue reading

Once more the weekend is over far too quickly and one again I don’t seem to have done half of what I need to. Anyway I’m off to Scotland for this week, come Wednesday, but don’t fear, I shall be … Continue reading
If you like Blyton: Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens
Stef has already reviewed this (as has Poppy) but as always I’m late to the party and have just gotten around to reading it. I had many thoughts and so I am now going to inflict them on you all. … Continue reading
Wandering in the dark near Kröller Müller — Kunst en Cultuur – Arts & Culture
This link was sent to us from Hans van der Klis from The Netherlands. He says: I’ve written an ‘adventure’ story on my blog, that we (my wife and I) experienced during a visit to a museum in the forest. With some thoughts … Continue reading
Welcome to Monday
Hope you’ve all had a good weekend – hasn’t the English weather been glorious (especially in the south) this weekend? I’ve been out and got myself a little tan, and all my freckles are finding their way out! Anyway the … Continue reading
My twenty-second Noddy book: Cheer Up Little Noddy
This Noddy book has been the hardest to review. It was supposed to be my 18th review from the series, but when I opened my copy I discovered that it was missing the first 20 pages. I then added a … Continue reading
First Monday of May
It’s May now, not that the recent weather would lead you to believe that. For me the last week of April was not a case of April Showers. It was a case of repeated hail showers and then a reasonably … Continue reading
The Secret Series on TV – Moon Castle
The previous episode went for a very modern sci-fi feel, which was miles away from the original story. This time around they seem to have gone for a ghostly one, which doesn’t sound all that far from the book, but … Continue reading

Monday
Here we are, another Monday, another week into the year, and we here at Word of Blyton aren’t quite sure what this week will bring you. Fiona will try and get another TV epsiode of the Secret Series done and … Continue reading
The Twins at St Clare’s – How has Blyton’s original text fared in a modern edition? part 6
This week (after abandoning this series for over a month) I got through two chapters. That leaves just five to go. Earlier posts – one, two, three, four and five. CHAPTER FIFTEEN: A TERRIBLE QUARREL The class-related discussions suffer from … Continue reading
