Product Description
About the Author
Enid Blyton is one of the best-loved children's authors with over 700 titles published. In 1922, her collection of poems was published. Aged 27, Enid married Hugh Pollock and moved to London. They had two children, and soon after Enid wrote her first novel, The Adventures of the Wishing-Chair. Enid divorced Hugh after almost 20 years of marriage, and married Kenneth Waters in 1943. Throughout the 40s and 50s, Enid wrote books at a colossal pace: adventure stories, mysteries, magical stories, farming stories, stories for younger children, best-selling series like The Famous Five and Noddy. Enid fell ill with Alzheimer's disease and she died in 1963. Pamela Cox is a life-long fan of Enid Blyton's work. She has also written three books in the St Clare's series.

Goodbye Malory Towers
I only recently came across Pamela Cox's books and was intregued to see what her thoughts would be on the characters in her books. The majority of the book centres around a very difficult character, that of Gwendoline Mary Lacey. For those who remember her, she is a spoilt, self centred, vain uncaring individual who puts herself first and expects people to listen to her opinions which are usually wrong. She was a character that most of her classmates loathed or put up with but no one counted her as a friend. Yet in this book she has had to learn some life lessons that make her a nicer character and even her old classmates are prepared to support and help her. One of the biggest lessons she learns is that genune loyal friends are worth having, which is something that I too have learnt to value over the years.

A Kid's Review
Format:Paperback
My 11 year old daughter gave the following review-This is good book especially when you have read the original Enid Blyton books about Darrell at Malory Towers. (Malory Towers is a girls boarding school where they get up to lots of mischief and fun). Felicity (Darrell's sister) is head girl at Malory Towers in this book. Gwen (from the original Enid Blyton MT books) becomes a teacher at Malory Towers and teaches Felicity. Darrell and her year group, from when she was at at school, all meet up again near the end of the year, in this book. This is a book I really enjoyed. I would recommend it to any girl what so ever. Pamela Cox's Malory Towers books are really good, almost as good as the original books by Enid Blyton.
