About the Author
Enid Blyton is one of the most-loved authors in children's publishing. With over 700 titles published, Enid Blyton's stories remain timeless classics, adored throughout the world. As a young woman Enid was faced with many choices: her father had planned a career in music for her, while she felt drawn to writing. In the end, she became a teacher. In 1922, a collection of poems by Enid was published, it was her first step towards her dream of becoming an author. Aged 27, Enid married Hugh Pollock and moved to London. Enid had two children with Hugh, and soon after 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. Her spirit lives on in her books and she is remembered as one of the most-loved and celebrated children's authors.

Format:Paperback
I first read this book as a child and it gave me an interest and love of fantasy which still endures. Enid Blyton's writing is at its dream-like best and she weaves a world which defies continent and science and all other adult theories. Put quite simply a very great book which shouldn't be overlooked by any age of reader, however be warned you must read and forget all your preconceptions of the world. The ultimate book for pure dreaming.

My daughter insisted on reading this book in bed every night for a couple of weeks until she had finished it. She loved it, and it gave her a great confidence in her reading ability and showed her that reading can be a real joy not a chore.
It is written in a style that is just right for her now: relatively simple words and sentences, but put together in a way that paints a vivid fantasy picture.
The characterisation is simple in the extreme, and some might find fault with the book for that. I don't because books with better characterisation (e.g. The BFG) are more advanced than my daughter can cope with at the moment. One step at a time, and on that basis this book gets full marks from me.

My five year old girl loves this book. We read a chapter every night. She says that when she is a little older she will read it to herself.
