Enid Blyton


Enid Blyton is one of the greatest authors of all time. She was born on the 11th August 1897 and died on the 28th November 1968. Her second name is Mary. She is sometimes known as Mary Pollock as her second name is Mary and Pollock is the surname of her first husband. She has two children both girls whose names are Gillian and Imogen. Some of her most famous books are Famous Five, Secret Seven, Five Find Outers and Dog, Naughtiest Girl, The Faraway Tree and The Wishing Chair, among others. It is calculated that in 40 years she wrote 600 books and that her books have sold 600 million copies. Her first carrier was that of a teacher.
