O happy days remember them well. vivid imagination as I was no 6 always joining in their many adventures. Yes EB is criticised sadly she is supposed to be politically incorrect,i.e. they all had mums and dads. Dorothy

Hi Polly Anna, Yes remember them with great affection,I was always reading. When you were very young did you read the Milly Molly Mandy stories by Joyce Lankester Brisley?She also drew the beautiful illustrations. MMM's friends were Billy Blunt and Susan,they lived in a little village. I've still got one of the books and still like reading it!!! Mau ;0)

Strange that EB has been criticized by the PC people for the books she wrote yet they have stretched across the generations. I read them in the 40s and 50s, my children read them and I am sure my Grandsons have also read them and Granddaughter definitely loves Noddy books. Did anyone else enjoy the arthur Mee books, another set that have lasted across the generations. (We didn't mean to go to sea, Swallows and Amazons, Coot club) Ann Glos

I loved the secret seven and famous five, my eldest son read them as a child too, but don't think the other 2 did. I too remember reading under the blankets with a torch!!

don't forget Aunt Fanny !!!

forgot that one and it is OH's name !!! Had forgotten Uncle Quentin...

Other one was Dick. Loved them and most other Enid Blyton books.

snap , Linda....

Sweet, innocent childhood in those days....George, Anne,Julian, timothy the dog, who was the other one....?

I loved them and gave my original books to my children to read, they have kept them to give to their children to read (if and when they have children) On one flight I even read F5 instead of grown up novel!! Sandra x

I read them when I was about 8 or 9. Loved all the Enid Blyton books. Twins of St. Clairs used to crack me up.

Any one else who read them in their youth...? I used to read them quivering under the covers with my torch....really scared....!
