I guess there is a big difference. Like Harriet the Spy -- I'm wondering if that was narrated or not?

I have banned my kids from watching her on television as she is just so rude to everyone all the time. She has so much attitude. I am not keen on Jaqueline Wilson books much either, as I feel she tries to make divorce and separation a hip thing to do and I don't want my kids to see that as the norm. I am really moaning today, aren't I?<br />Did you see the drama about Enid Blyton, I really enjoyed that, but her relationship with her own children was awful. I am surprised they have never written a biography about their home life with her.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-40539280364402829582009-12-29T16:37:50.254+00:002009-12-29T16:37:50.254+00:00I loved the docudrama about Enid Blyton that was o...I loved the docudrama about Enid Blyton that was on T.V. a few weeks ago. It's a shame that the B.B.C. treat her that way, but her books are still going strong, and I have loads of them in my collection!<br />I'm also looking forward to "The Gruffalo" too!<br />I have just found one of my absolute favourites on YouTube, and that is "Mouse Soup" which was made into a cartoon! It's brilliant!
