Enid Blyton was a British children’s author, best known for her Famous Five, Secret Seven, and Magic Faraway Tree series. Her first novel was published in 1922, and she went on to gain widespread commercial success in the 1930s. She felt a strong responsibility to include moral frameworks in her writing, and encouraged her readers to support worthy causes, including helping other children and animals. She continued her most popular series until the 1960s, before her death in 1968.
