The Magic Faraway Tree: A New Adventure by Jacqueline Wilson
I finished the book earlier in the week, so finally I have finished the review! The style and setting I think the first thing I will say is that Jacqueline Wilson does not attempt to mimic Blyton’s writing style. This … Continue reading
The Diary of the Naughtiest Girl
I celebrated a little presumptuously a few months ago when I finished the Naughtiest Girl continuations by Anne Digby. I then remembered I also had The Diary of the Naughtiest Girl. By remembered I mean found the book behind the sofa. I borrowed … Continue reading

The Naughtiest Girl continued: The Naughtiest Girl Marches on
Finally here we are at the last Anne Digby Naughtiest Girl book, the last Naughtiest Girl book altogether. She has marched on through six continuation books which was six books too many, if you ask me, so I really hope … Continue reading
Bizzy and the Bedtime Bear
I borrowed this book from the library some time before the pandemic started, and it has been sitting behind the sofa in a pile of my ‘to reads’, along with some other Blyton continuation books I borrowed around the same … Continue reading
The Naughtiest Girl continued: Well Done, The Naughtiest Girl
As my library will hopefully be reopening again soon I thought I really should read a few more of the 15 or so books I’ve had out for over a year. I’m getting deja vu over that statement so I’m … Continue reading
Return to Kirrin by Neil and Suzy Howlett
I am in a couple of Enid Blyton Facebook groups with Suzy Howlett and had seen her mention her ‘unofficial’ novel a few times. Now I’m always very wary about Enid Blyton continuation books – and I think I have … Continue reading

The Naughtiest Girl continued: The Naughtiest Girl Saves the Day
My library has partially reopened now, so I thought I should probably get around to reading some of the dozen books I still have out! I haven’t thought much of these Anne Digby continuations hence my lack of enthusiasm over … Continue reading

The Naughtiest Girl continued: The Naughtiest Girl Helps a Friend
A few weeks ago I reviewed the first Naughtiest Girl continuation book by Anne Digby. I didn’t think it was very good, but seeing as I borrowed all six and I can’t return them due to coronavirus self-isolation, I thought … Continue reading
The Naughtiest Girl continued: The Naughtiest Girl Keeps a Secret
As I covered in my post on Blyton’s prequels, sequels and continuations, there are six additional Naughtiest Girl books written by Anne Digby. I’ve borrowed all of them (in two different editions) from my library and now it’s time to … Continue reading
My twenty-fifth Noddy book: Noddy and the Farmyard Muddle
Back in 2016 I reviewed my twenty-fourth Noddy book and proclaimed it my last. I wasn’t in a strop with Noddy, as irritating as he can be at times, I had come to the end of the main series. There … Continue reading

Summer Term at Malory Towers by Pamela Cox
A couple of months ago I read and reviewed the first of Pamela Cox’s Malory Towers books, New Term at Malory Towers. I wouldn’t say I loved it, though I thought it was a decent attempt at an Enid Blyton … Continue reading

The Secret Seven – Mystery of the Skull
Clearly I’m a glutton for punishment as I picked up a copy of the new Secret Seven book while at my nearest library for Bookbug with Brodie. That branch is closing for a while to be refurbished so I grabbed … Continue reading

New Term at Malory Towers by Pamela Cox
This is the first of Pamela Cox’s sequels to the Malory Towers books. I wrote a bit about the six new books here, and have just got around to reading the first one. My initial impressions Within the first few … Continue reading

Malory Towers, continued
If you ask me, a Blyton purist, how many books there are in the Malory Towers series I would instantly tell you there are six. If you asked a modern reader they might well say twelve. Twelve?? That’s double! This … Continue reading
Best of Blyton at the library
I’ve started my new job in a library now, and I’ve been taking full advantage of my access to all those books! In a quieter moment I ran a catalogue search for Enid Blyton and it came up with 264 hits over … Continue reading
