Suzanne Report post Posted March 7 Totally grew up with Enid Blyton, read right into my teens when I should have been reading different books. Noddy was the first Enid Blyton book I remember reading Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madeleine Report post Posted March 7 Yes I remember reading the Noddy books as well, then some of the "Adventure" series, and then the Famous Five, St Clare's series (set in a girls' boarding school) and probably others I've forgotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bel-ami Report post Posted March 7 (edited) The Secret Seven series for me - although I can't remember which ones. I don't know why I skipped the Famous Five! and Mr Twiddle. Edited March 7 by Bel-ami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV67 Report post Posted March 9 I am sure I read a couple of Noddys, but it did not make an impression. I am sure it was on the telly. Later on I got seriously into The Famous Five. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
France Report post Posted March 9 My older brother was frightened of Noddy! I seem to remember reading a collection of her stories but moved on to the Famous Five quickly though my preference was for pony books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marie H Report post Posted March 11 Noddy was my first Enid Blyton books, but it was the St Clare’s series that I devoured! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poppy Report post Posted March 14 I guess Noddy was the first Enid Blyton I read ( it was banned here from libraries in the 70's because Noddy and Big Ears slept in the same bed (shock horror, they could have been homosexual!) and the Golliwogs were always the baddies). Later on I loved The Famous Five but wasn't so keen on the Secret Seven (can't remember why now). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
