Oh, and the Naughtiest Girl in the School books too. She was a very prolific writer. (If you read Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next books there's a great spoof of Blyton is one of them - The Well of Lost Plots I think but I'm not 100% sure.) I think I read and owned most of the Trixie Beldon books as well.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829070558793881064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-66490241112786755082008-05-16T14:16:00.000+10:002008-05-16T14:16:00.000+10:00Yeah for Trixie Belden!!
