About this deal

Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's.

I think I wouldn't mind acting like Amelia, what with the other toys being so mean, straight-laced and hypocritical! They keep on saying how bad and naughty Amelia is, and do all sorts of these bad-ness themselves to take revenge or to teach her a lesson. Also the stories keep on ending with "yes, Amelia will be good for a while, but no one believes that she will stay good!" It's such a frustrating branding of naughtiness that I, in my current thoughts and idealism, wouldn't want to imprint on my young ones (when I have them, that is!)

According to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare. urn:lcp:ameliajanecollec0000blyt:epub:8f33f291-66b4-4ef4-9a18-c507a1803653 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier ameliajanecollec0000blyt Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t4hn3g32b Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781405265447 Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2019-12-27 01:50:36 Associated-names Blyton, Enid.

I think I might have to re-think again in a couple of years whether or not I would want to read these to my kids as a bedtime story...
