For the past century, Enid Blyton has been described as the greatest publishing phenomenon of our time, the Muhammad Ali of Childrens Literature while The Famous Five have often been described as The Beatles of Childrens Literature whereas The Secret Seven are deemed to have been the cradle of James Bond. Nonetheless, this is the first book that looks at Enid Blytons works from a comparative international panorama, rather than a European, especially British perspective. It examines Enid Blytons changing viewpoints during her literary career toward familial issues, science, health, religion, and the environment through the lenses of one of her most well renown series, The Famous Five.
