Forgot to add: I totally agree with Kate Forsyth. For me, the first Harry Potter book read like an Enid Blyton novel with magic thrown in ...



I have got to find some of these books to check them out. Posted Image


Sorry for being so quiet but my mother went into the hospital last Thursday out in Missouri (I'm in Kentucky) and I've been spending the last week getting things organized so I can go out to see her. She's doing great but it's been wild here.

Nah, nah, nah. <_< You're forgetting the Dolly (Malory Towers) and the Hanni & Nanni (St. Clare's) series. The names of the protagonists were mostly Germanised, and the books were heavily edited and revised. Both series proved to be so successful in Germany that several books were added to them. These additions were also published under Blyton's name, but most of them seem to have been written by Tina Caspari. She also wrote the Tina & Tini series, which were attributed to Blyton, too.


I read both of those series as a girl, but somehow I never connected them with Blyton's name. Perhaps I read them before I started paying attention to author names.
