Techie Taffy
PAROMITA PAIN
Are you an Enid Blyton fan or are you one of those who thinks her school and adventure series are meant for girls only? Take a walk with Techie and check out the many books this author has written and see what makes her the iconic children’s writer.
The page at http://www.enidblyton.net/ is an unappealing page — cluttered with info, her books and announcements of new reviews added. But its a mine of info that needs careful browsing and if you have the patience you can discover more about the author from this site than anything else on the internet.
What more can you learn about an author than from her books? Check out the thumbnails of her books and you will know why they remain eternal favourites. If you haven’t read a Famous Five story yet then check out the http://www.enidblyton.net/famous-five/ page. The very first adventure featuring Julian, Dick, Anne, and tomboy George along with her beloved dog, Timmy was Five on a Treasure Island. See what the first edition covers were like besides other trivia about the most famous group of children detectives. The ‘Meet the Characters’ at http://www.enidblyton.net/famous-five/meet-the-characters.html is a page meant for those who are true fans of these intrepid adventurers. They are about the characters and the kind of people they are and what kind of an impression they make on young readers and adults.
“Julian is a strange character, someone that young readers seem to aspire to, and one that older readers think is a pompous ass.”—want to know more? Read on then.
“Every child wants their own island (not to mention adults), so why not create your own? Enid Blyton did! For this you’ll need some sticky-back tape and two photographs, one of Corfe Castle and the other of the sea,” says the page at http://www.enidblyton.net/famous-five/create-your-very-own-kirrin-island.html. and that by far is the most interesting page you will ever find.
Make your own island. Write your own adventure. Who knows maybe you are another Enid Blyton in the making?
