Enid Blyton and the Mystery of Children's Literature

Item Details

Description

Title: Enid Blyton and the Mystery of Children's Literature

Description: FIRST EDITION, SIGNED BY AUTHOR. Pictorial dust-jacket with title. Publishers black cloth with gilt title, gilt vignette to spine. Blyton has captivated children worldwide for almost eighty years, but there has been very little serious critical attention paid to her. This book remedies this, looking particularly at her three most popular and well- nown series, Noddy, the Famous Five and Malory Towers. It is the first study to draw extensively on the view of her readership, past and present, and to use a variety of critical approaches to show how adult criticism has consistently missed the secret of her appeal. A scarce signed copy.
