When I was a kid, I gobbled up the novels of Enid Blyton (Aug. 11, 1897 - 1968), esp. her Famous Five series…
“It wasn’t a bit of good fighting grown-ups. They could do exactly as they liked.” (Julian in Five On a Treasure Island)
Portrait of Blyton and her daughter Imogen, by John Gay, 1949 - bromide print (NPG, London)
