In fact, I remember as a child thinking that she, the Brothers Grimm and Aesop were the only storytellers the world had ever known! ;D<BR/><BR/>A few other favourite authors I noticed on the list: JK Rowling (though I wouldn't have placed her that high!), George Orwell, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jilly Cooper (yes, well!)... hmmm, that makes for quite the mix, doesn't it? :)YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-45937418238433963202008-08-22T20:48:00.000+08:002008-08-22T20:48:00.000+08:00Well she was pretty racist, but then again everyon...Well she was pretty racist, but then again everyone was I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-9169244667715145942008-08-22T15:56:00.000+08:002008-08-22T15:56:00.000+08:00yey, Roald Dahl is second on list!yey, Roald Dahl is second on list!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-35466052461598222242008-08-21T17:48:00.000+08:002008-08-21T17:48:00.000+08:00Oh, i also wrote my praise for Enid Blyton last ye...Oh, i also wrote my praise for Enid Blyton last year, here: http://www.dunia-vovin.com/2007/apresiasi-enid-blyton.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-49493005468508468242008-08-21T17:44:00.000+08:002008-08-21T17:44:00.000+08:00i love enid blyton.i love Margaret Atwood also. *l...i love enid blyton.<BR/><BR/>i love Margaret Atwood also. <BR/><BR/>*love*<BR/><BR/>:PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-85907828945767809112008-08-21T17:22:00.000+08:002008-08-21T17:22:00.000+08:00Love the Five Find-Outers.

However, I'm now having to unlearn all the bad habits of Blyton and her era generally - overuse of adverbs and adjectives, slow starts, trite endings...but without reading her I might not ever have put pen to paper.Satima Flavellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427849961195148899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-74550366666961393452008-08-21T16:15:00.000+08:002008-08-21T16:15:00.000+08:00On my shelf is nearly the entire set of the Five F...On my shelf is nearly the entire set of the Five Find Outers and Dog which I picked up at a secondhand book shop.
