A great deal has been written about Enid Blyton. Whatever one's viewpoint on her personal life, nothing can detract from the stories she wrote and how so many of her books brought mystery, imagination, excitement, trepidation and so many other emotions.
This book gives a huge insight of the life her younger daughter went through as a child. It is not written with hate and it is made clear Imogen herself had some problems.
I find it very plausible that the older daughter, Gillian, had an 'easier' time of it - their mother's failing first marriage plus ever increasing fame would certainly have had an effect.
It was quite easy to have sympathy for Imogen but also to realise she was not the easiest of children - she has been so honest about this.
Nothing shocked me as I had known, since being adult, that not everything was as perfect as one would have hoped/thought in their private life.
A book well worth reading if one has an interest in Enid Blyton. Not a hard or complicated read, just the memories of childhood.
Enid Blyton was a very complicated but interesting woman. It was good to get her daughter's insight into the woman who wrote: Noddy, The Secret Seven, The Famous Five and The Twins At St Clares.
I was addicted to her books and stories as a child so I wanted to know more about the person who wrote them.
