There is still a long list of Enid Blyton's works. Thank you for mentioning her.
I am tired and dazzled, and I don’t want to check and sort out any more for the time being.
But I am glad people are constantly shooting and producing new versions for these series.
Enid Mary Blyton (1897–1968) was a highly successful and prolific English children's writer, known for creating beloved series such as Noddy, The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, the Five Find-Outers, and Malory Towers. Her works have sold over 600 million copies worldwide and have been translated into more than 90 languages, making her one of the most famous children's authors ever. Blyton wrote on a wide range of children's topics including education, mystery, fantasy, and natural history. Despite some controversies over her themes and style, her books remain popular and influential. She began writing seriously in the early 1920s, released her first book of poems in 1922, and went on to produce a vast literary output, sometimes up to fifty books a year.

She was also engaged in charitable activities, encouraging children to support causes such as animal welfare and children's health. Blyton's life and career were dramatized in a 2009 BBC film. She lived and wrote in various places, including Chessington and Green Hedges in Buckinghamshire. Her famous characters such as the adventurous children in the Famous Five series and the wooden doll Noddy have had lasting cultural impact, spawning adaptations and merchandise.

Wow this takes me back i remember watching this on TV as a kid when it was first shown, i was a huge Famous Five fan and bought (or rather begged by parents to give me more pocket money to!) the full set of the Enid Blyton novels which were republished with tie-in covers - a colour still from the relevant ep featuring the five actors! Will have to watch it again, thanks!
