Blyton, Enid

▪ British author
in full  Enid Mary Blyton  
born Aug. 11, 1897, East Dulwich, London, Eng.
died Nov. 28, 1968, Hampstead, London

      prolific and highly popular British author of stories, poems, plays, and educational books for children.

      The daughter of a businessman, Blyton abandoned her early studies in music to train as a schoolteacher at the Ipswich High School (1916–18). Her first publication was a poem that appeared in a children's magazine when she was only 14, and in 1917 another of her poems was published in Nash's Magazine. Blyton worked briefly as a teacher and governess, but by 1921 her stories and poems were appearing steadily in various magazines, and her first book of poems, Child Whispers, was published in 1922. Blyton devoted herself full-time to writing from about 1924. From then until about 1965, she wrote more than 600 children's books and wrote innumerable articles for magazines. Some of her stories first appeared in Enid Blyton's Sunny Stories (1937–52) and other magazines she founded and edited over the years.

      Most of Blyton's fiction consists of mystery or adventure stories, though schools and circuses form the settings of others. Her Famous Five, Secret Seven, and Mystery series of books were widely read, and in the 1950s her Little Noddy series, featuring the adventures of Little Noddy, Mr. Plod the policeman, Big Ears, and other characters of Toyland Village, enjoyed enormous popularity and made her a household name. Blyton's books feature clearly delineated good and bad characters and have exciting plots that illustrate traditional moral lessons. Her vocabulary and prose style are simple and highly accessible to beginning readers. Blyton came under some criticism for her stereotyped characters and simplistic viewpoint, but her remarkable popularity with young readers has remained undiminished, and new editions of her books continue to appear. By the late 20th century her books had sold more than 300 million copies and been translated into at least 90 languages.
