Hello

I've been revisiting my childhood this morning (yes, I know, those of you who know me will be saying "What's new there then?!?).  Anyway I've discovered a fabulous website that has been keeping me and my colleagues amused this morning.  It's the website of the Enid Blyton Society and obviously includes full details of her life, writing styles and her work - interesting stuff for those of you who remember her books from childhood.

One of the best bits though is the full listing of everything she ever wrote - including, in most cases, a plot summary and images of all the different covers that it was produced in.  It's amazing how you can recognize a cover of a book that you've not seen for 20 years or more.  But what is even more fascinating is realizing how many books she actually wrote - and just how many of them I remember reading (were there really that many Famous Five books, and have I really read them all?).

If you want a laugh then try the Character Quiz, where you answer questions to find out which Blyton character you are most like.  Slightly worryingly I came out as Mr Twiddle - so I want a recount, or at the very least I'm going to have to do the quiz again to get a better answer!

Let me know which character you are likened to.

Enjoy the sunshine
