[[Enid Blyton]] was a prolific author of English children's literature, producing around 800 books during her forty-year career, which were many people's first introduction to [[literature]], and which still sell well to day. To date her books have sold over 600 million copies worldwide.
Her writing is mostly set in an idealised version of pre-war England, and reflects the attitudes of the time, using some now-[[Dead Horse Trope|dead tropes]] about race, sex, and social class, commonly mocked when Blyton is parodied. Often, her characters spend days roaming across the countryside, [[Free-Range Children|without any trace of adult supervision]], eating lavish picnics and having jolly adventures fighting assorted villains.
