I used to read Enid Blyton as a child and I loved the boarding school books too. I used to dream of the midnight feasts!!! I can't believe they have modernised it and made it politically correct?! How adare they! The outrage! Oh, and who is they??

Lucky for me, I have quite a few of those older Enid Blyton books. I had passed them down to my little sister and when she threw them out my mum boxed them up and gave them back to me. My girls did not like them so much as they found the English a little hard to understand. (No slang!) I am hoping they will take to them, if not I will keep you in mind. Mine are all a good 30 years old (at least) and hardcover books.

When I was younger I gave away a whole stack of Enid Blyton books to a second-hand bookstore (which no longer exists). I regret it a little. I was quite fond of them. Not sure why I decided to let them go.

I had The Wishing Chair and The Enchanted Wood when I was small! They were big illustrated versions as well. I don't think I have any of them with me anymore though – I think my parents have them. I do have one fairy book (can't remember the title) that was my favourite becuase of the pictures.

So cool, Claudine! I used to read Enid Blyton, too, but my favourite ones to hunt are the Chalet School and the Sadlers Wells books. Sadly, they're very hard to find.

I loved Enid Blyton when I was younger! I think I still have the Wishing Chair packed away somewhere, that was probably my favorite. And I loved the Famous Five, they were sooo grown up!

I read almost all of the Famous Five and found that when travelling as a child, you could always count on finding an Enid Blyton book in a local bookstore!

Thanks for the links, I have never heard of Booko, that one will come in handy. My sister and I had quite the collection of Enid Blyton books as kids. I might have to give my parents a call to see what happened to them.
