Enid Mary Blyton (1897-1968), also known as Mary Pollock, is
one of the most famous children's authors of the 20th century.
She is particularly well known forher numerous series of books
such as Noddy, The Famous Five and The Secret Seven. Blyton
wrote hundreds of other books for young and older children
an estimate putting her total book publication at around 800
titles. She was born in East Dulwich in London. She married twice
and had two daughters by her first husband. She was a talented
pianist and was a teacher for five years before turning her hobby
of writing into her profession. After the death of her second
husband in 1967 she became increasingly ill and suffering with
Alzheimer's Disease she moved into a Nursing Home and died a
few months later aged 71.

First published in 1944, Enid Blyton's Nature Lovers Book is a delightful
collection of stories, poems, and nature facts centred on three children and
their uncle who takes them on nature walks, unveiling the delights of the
