When I was a child my favourite author was Enid Blyton and, in particular, I loved to read her Famous Five books.  My sister and I created a "library" in our shed with a bookcase full of Enid Blyton's books, including the Malory Towers series, the Secret Seven and many more.  How I loved to escape into the world of adventure, wishing that I could be part of a secret group or even attend a boarding school!  It sounded such fun!  Enid Blyton certainly inspired my love of reading, mystery and adventure.  She was one of the most successful children's storytellers of the 20th century and her books are still read by children all over the world today.  Mrs Blomeley
