I will try to put the present aside, and enjoy them the way I did when young.<BR/><BR/>For me, it was mainly the FF who had the magic. I wasn't as entranced by the Secret Seven, and missed Noddy altogether, though my daughter loved having Noddy read to her.<BR/><BR/>My books aren't published yet, but you can read about them, and the first chapters if you want, at my website www.lexirevellian.com - there's a link on the right of my blog.<BR/><BR/>Enid Blyton's books are page turners; you have to keep reading to find out what happens next. Plus you identify with the characters.
