Hurrah For Little Noddy! – How has Blyton’s original text fared in a modern edition?

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

This is number four in the series of Noddy books, and one of the ones I picked up on eBay recently. Unfortunately the front board is completely detached from the rest of the book (which is more than just a … Continue reading →

My eighth Noddy book: Noddy Goes to Toyland

Posted on October 10, 2014 by Fiona

I’ve been doing a bit of eBaying again (a dangerous pastime!) and I’ve now got a much larger collection of Noddy books. Not all of them yet, there’s four I don’t have, but it gives me plenty of new stories … Continue reading →
