Enid Blyton
One of the world's best-selling authors,Blyton's stories and verse are as quintessentially British as cream teas and red phone boxes. With their classic mix of adventure,magic and humour (not to mention legendary picnics) her books have been selling in their millions since they were first published in the 1930's.
