Enid Blyton at Old Thatch is NOT another analysis of why her books still sell in their millions. Nor is it a politically-correct critique of golliwogs and the supposedly hidden lives of Noddy and Big Ears.
This book is a celebration of the beautiful village of Bourne End along the banks of the Thames, 25 miles west of London, where Enid Blyton lived in a 400 year-old thatched house known as "Old Thatch". For Enid, her home there was "a wonderful place to write stories in".
Step back in time with Enid Blyton's daughter, Gillian Baverstock, to a childhood she remembers fondly. Combining escapism with a touch of history and fantasy, this book is a great travel guide to one of England's most green and pleasant landscapes. Along river pathways and leafy lanes, around stately manors, snow-covered churches and country pubs, Enid Blyton is a gateway to some captivating places and a journey that will delight!
Enid Blyton also set one of her most exciting children's series, the Mystery stories, in the village and surrounding areas such as Marlow, Taplow and the ancient woodland, Burnham Beeches.
The book features 23 colour and 60 black & white photographs. Enjoy it - life is too short to be serious all the time!
