Author Biography

Enid Mary Blyton (August 11, 1897- November 28, 1968) was a British children’s author. She is noted particularly for numerous series of books, based on recurring characters and designed for different age groups.

Her prolific output involves mainly children’s fantasy, which sometimes involves the supernatural. Her books were immensely popular in Britain, India and Australia and have remained popular. Enid Blyton’s books have sold over 500 million copies and have been translated into 40 languages, including Malay, Spanish, French, Finnish, German, Japanese and Hebrew. Translated versions became and have remained extremely popular in many parts of Europe and Asia.

She wrote over 700 books and about 2,000 short stories, including favourites such as The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Magic Faraway Tree, Malory Towers and Noddy. She also filled a large number of magazine pages, particularly the long-running Sunny Stories. An estimate puts her total book publication at around 600 titles, not including decades of magazine writing. It is said at one point she produced 10,000 words a day.

Such astonishingly prolific output led many to believe that some of her work was ghost-written. No ghost writers have come forward. She used a pseudonym Mary Pollock for a few titles (middle name plus first married name). In her last few years of life she suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease. The last volumes in her most famous series were published in 1963. Many books still appeared, but were mainly story books made up from re-cycled work.

Not all of her output was fiction. For example, her series of arithmetic books were for many years the standard in primary schools in the UK. She also wrote numerous books on nature and Biblical themes.

Born in London in 1897, Enid lived much of her life in Buckinghamshire and adored dogs, gardening and the countryside. She died in 1968 but remains one of the world’s best-loved storytellers.
