Talk by Susan Morris & Alfred Bradley

‘The most prolific, successful yet controversial children’s writer of all time’ – one summary of this extraordinary woman. Just as Disney effectively defined American family values, Blyton helped create the image of the ideal British childhood, whether she was writing about children or stories for children. Somehow this makes her private family life all the more surprising.

This talk will discuss Blyton’s own world and bring stories to life with selections from her writings.
