This work celebrates the centenary of Enid Blyton's birth. Written by her daughter, it tells the story of Enid Blyton's life, from her childhood - her close relationship with her father, her love of reading, her schooldays - to her decision to be a teacher, her first attempts to get published and her eventual success as a writer for children. This book is one in a biography series which tells the stories of famous people from the past, including artists, engineers, scientists, inventors, rulers, pioneers and explorers. They are designed to support the History National Curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2, but can also be used as a learning resource for older readers with learning difficulties. The text is simple and lively, and key events, people and places are shown in photographs.

Each title in this series tells the life story of an eminent individual in simple language and with an array of photographs. Enid Blyton is undoubtedly a huge figure in children's literature and one whom inspires much loyalty and love. She is a favourite not just in the classroom but is one of the few authors that children will spend their own pocket money on. The mixture of text and photographs in this book tells the story of Enid's own childhood and what inspired her to become a writer of children's books.
