Oh to be young and so fortunate as to go to Boarding School! Good thing I didn't discover Enid Blyton until AFTER I was married....my desire to go to Boarding School would have known no bounds!
In many respects, this is a better series that Bylton's _St. Claire's_ books: both more developed in many details and in the likeability of the characters. Yet, on this reread, I see that actually the faculty is better fleshed out in the St. Claire's series.

She attended Ipswich High School where she trained to become a kindergarten teacher and eventually opened her own school for infants. show more Blyton's first poem was published in 1917, entitled "Have You-" which appeared in Nash's Magazine. In 1922, her first book of verses was published, entitled "Child Whispers." In 1926 she accepted a position editing the children's magazine "Sunny Stories" as well as writing the column "Teachers World." Blyton's first full length children's book was published din 1938 and was titled "The Secret Island." After working on the column for years, Blyton quit "Teachers World" in 1945 and also ended her stint as editor of "Sunny Stories" seven years later.
