It draws on Blyton's business correspondence to give a fresh account of a misunderstood figure who for forty years was one of Britain's most successful and powerful authors. It examines Blyton's rise to fame in the 1920s and considers the ways in which she managed her career as a storyteller, journalist and magazine editor. There is discussion of her most famous series including the Famous Five, the Secret Seven, Malory Towers and Noddy, but attention is also given to lesser-known works including the family stories she published to acclaim in the 1940s and early 1950s, as well as her attempts to become a dramatist. The book also discusses Blyton's fluctuating critical reputation, how she and her works were received and how Blyton the person has fared at the hands of biographers and the media. 001441347 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCOhost platform, viewed June 27, 2022). 001441347 60010 $$aBlyton, Enid. 001441347 650_0 $$aAuthors, English$$y20th century$$vBiography. 001441347 650_0 $$aChildren's literature, English$$xHistory and criticism. 001441347 650_6 $$aLittérature anglaise$$y20e siècle. 001441347 650_6 $$aLittérature de jeunesse anglaise. 001441347 650_6 $$aLittérature$$y20e siècle. 001441347 655_7 $$aLiterary criticism.$$2lcgft 001441347 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001441347 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMaunder, Andrew.$$tEnid Blyton.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2021]$$z9783030763312$$w(OCoLC)1264401540 001441347 830_0 $$aLiterary lives (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)) 001441347 852__ $$bebk 001441347 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-76332-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001441347 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1441347$$pGLOBAL_SET 001441347 980__ $$aBIB 001441347 980__ $$aEBOOK 001441347 982__ $$aEbook 001441347 983__ $$aOnline 001441347 994__ $$a92$$bISE
