Talking of Enid Blyton, I was amazed when I discovered Ransome actually thought she was a good writer. I'd been brought up in a house devoid of her books, and my school was one of those who took part in the mass avoidance of anything she wrote. I never grew to like her as an adult either. Just chance I guess.

However, I have read about her formulaic approach, and the easily-spotted errors. Plus I do have an in-house expert to consult (my wife). And as for the repetition of storylines and names....!

Yet John Berry reports in his own book that Ransome said Enid was good. It just seem surprising. Am I missing something?
