To someone from my childhood, Enid Blyton,
Obviously, I never actually knew you, you died nearly 30 years before I was born, but I always read your book as a child.
Me and my older brother used to read the Famous Five stories a lot and then my granny introduced me to The Naughtiest Girl In The School. I loved all of those book, they always made me laugh and give me cunning ideas to use.
When I was about 7 my mum brought me the first Malory Towers book, I read it in no time at all and enjoyed it so much that I soon had ploughed my way through the whole set of them.
I’m currently re-reading all of the Malory Towers books. Now that I’ve left school I thought it would be nice to read something that I read in the summer holidays when I was younger. As I have so much time off this year I will probably end up re-reading the naughtiest girl in the school books as well.
I may not have ever met you, but you had a big effect on my childhood, so this letter is to you.
Thanks for writing so many brilliant books; it’s my dream to be able to write with such popularity that people still read them after I’ve died.
Love Emily x
