She has also written heaps and heaps of books and they are not just children’s books she has also written adult books. Another fact is that Enid Blyton has been writing for many, many, many years! One of my last facts is that one of Andy Griffith’s favourite authors is Enid Blyton. • Enid Blyton grew up in England. Some of the books she liked to read as a young girl are, Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty, Charles Kingsley’s The Water Babies and Louisa M. Alcott’s Little Women. • When Enid was young she wasn’t allowed to have pets.
