first books i’ve ever read

I became aware of Enid Blyton only as an adult. Her books simply were not available in my neck of the woods when I was growing up, and I was always scouring my school library and the local used bookstore for something new to read. I finally stumbled upon an audio version of the first book in a Blyton series just a few weeks ago, and grabbed it. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It reminded me a lot of the books I read as a child-- no problem lasts more than 10 pages, and Everything Is Okay in the End. I enjoyed it. I may even try to track down the rest of the series in audio. I admired the reader's ability to switch accents effortlessly-- Irish to French to RP.

A childhood companion. The whole series, years back, for a teenage girl worked as a great comfort. :)

The Malory Towers books are more fun and more interesting, but these are still a fun, quick read either way
