New Fanfic! – a short story by Julie Heginbotham about the Five Find-Outers reuniting as old-age pensioners! Who'd have thought Fatty married Bets? Well, actually, that's not a big surprise; I think that was always on the cards. Returning to Peterswood. —August 18, 2008

Can't find what you want here? Navrang may get some of the other series back in stock. Until then, try my Amazon aStore.

If you want secondhand, then you're going to have to browse a number of different places to find what you're looking for. I have a few of my own books for sale, but otherwise you can't beat eBay for selection and price. Why buy secondhand?
Messages from Enid Blyton fans...
Update to Message Board: Our small team of moderators here at EnidBlyton.net have decided to display pictures of themselves in their replies to you, so that you know who you're dealing with. Don't get on the wrong side of the law with Inspector Jenks. Beware Fatty's super brain power. And please be gentle with Bets, as she's rather timid!

Bets says: Sadly Enid Blyton died in 1968. |
| August 27, 2008 - bilgewaters says: Hi there, I've just completed my mysteries collection of first editions. I would like some repro covers to brighten them up and to protect my precious books. Can anyone help? |
| August 27, 2008 - Natasha Hardity says: I love Enid Blyton books. I have been to the shop the Ginger Pop Shop and got loads there!! Thanks to my mum I would never be into Enid Blyton. |
| August 25, 2008 - babs woodfield says: I have a well worn copy of Enid Blytons year book 1947. Well worn much loved - is it of any value to a collector? |
| August 25, 2008 - frank keefe says: I've been reading some critics comments about Enid Blyton saying she was racist and a middle class snob. This is typical of those champagne socialists who probably grew up in a similar lifestyle to the Famous Five and felt somehow guilty about it and now look for some street creed with the working class. I grew up in a 1 parent family in Merthyr Tydfil and we were quite poor, but nearly of my friends who were as working class as you can get LOVED Enid Blyton and especially her famous Five books with their wonderful adventures. What those books did for me and others like me was introduce us to a world we could all enter and loved every minute of it. No kitchen sink books for us which we all lived out in real life. To us back then she was "cool"and still is!. I'm 64 and still read the books which still captures that magic even after all these years. Thanks Frank Keefe. |

Bets says: That's a magic of Enid Blyton - she just gets you into the story and makes you feel like a character in the story itself. |
| August 24, 2008 - rogoz says: Chorion's new Famous Five novel should be a nice period piece since Siam changed to Thailand way back in 1939. Will they spend the novel cussing over bare-foot brown foreigners the whole time? And Blyton was dead against the supernatural - not sure how a Dragon could be fitted in. |
| August 24, 2008 - Mike Edmonds says: I live in the US, and am looking for NTSC DVDS. Does anyone know where I can find them? Thank you! Mike. |
| August 24, 2008 - Ralph Corderoy says: "Some of Enid Blyton's most popular characters will make a return in a set of 20 new books, her estate has said. In the first, The Famous Five's Survival Guide, they try to solve The Mystery of the Royal Dragon of Siam." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7579297.stm - Well, they've fallen at the first hurdle. That's clearly not a Famous Five title; far too exotic. |
 |
Fatty says: Sounds to me like one of our mysteries! That reminds me, I must look out some of my disguises.... |
| August 24, 2008 - Ralph Corderoy says: Talking of macaroons Fatty, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/macaroon#In_popular_culture has no mention of you and the others. Perhaps someone who can give an accurate entry would care to contribute to Wikipedia. |
|
Fatty says: How remiss. The Five Find-Outers & Dog have done more to promote the delights of the delicious macaroon than anyone else in living history. |
| August 24, 2008 - Eddie Muir says: Great news, Julie! I'm really looking forward to the next episode. |
| August 23, 2008 - Julie @ Owlsdene says: I've already started writing from where I left off Eddie. Fatty has to come out of retirement I'm afraid. No rest for the wicked eh Fatty!!! |
|
Fatty says: Ah well, if that's the case, I'm off to the dairy for half-a-dozen macaroons. Comin' Bets? |
| August 23, 2008 - Eddie Muir says: Thanks for your response, Julie. It is much appreciated. Are you planning to write any more Peterswood stories? Best wishes, Eddie. |
|
Fatty says: I do hope so, Eddie! |
| August 23, 2008 - PC Pippin says: Why doesn't anyone write FanFics about St. Clare's, Malory Towers or The Naughtiest Girl? Please write some about them, too. I couldn't find Secret Seven or other mystery series and I want to understand some FanFics. I can't write because I don't have that much creativity, but I'm sure the people who wrote that much FanFic can write at least one about boarding schools, too, for people who couldn't read the mystery series. Thanks for reading. |

Inspector Jenks says: Clearly they're not as popular as the Five Find-Outers and Famous Five! Hopefully you'll find these books one day, as you're missing out on a lot of great stuff! By the way, you signed your post as Inspector Jenks, but since that's my name I felt it would be confusing to others if I left it, so I changed you to PC Pippin instead. (Odd how you chose Inspector Jenks though, since you haven't read the Mystery series...) |
| August 23, 2008 - Julie @ Owlsdene says: Just a brief message to thank Eddie Muir for his kind comments on Returning to Peterswood. Sorry I've only just noticed your post Eddie. Many Thanks. Julie. |
| August 22, 2008 - rogoz says: Didn't suspect everyone here was so survey happy! I'm saying be very careful about what survey results actually mean. One distortion leads to another and in the Telegraph article, Chorion was already claiming ' the British public has voted - - ' when under 18's were excluded if you read the Costa conditions. It took Tony Summerfield to point out the obvious, which is that Rowlings would be more popular with today's kids. A further misunderstanding is that this survey was a 'Costa award' - it's nothing of the sort, just a bit of promotion where you, too, can win 50 books! Now back to important surveys - my favourite character is Anne Kirrin. |

Fatty says: I say let's bask in the glory while it lasts; sales promotion or not! Anything that promotes Enid Blyton in a positive way, can't be bad! |
