I can definitely attest to this, most assuredly part of the British culture, I remember reading all of these books multiple times as a child and both my brothers (much younger than me) also read them as children.
I think it's fairly safe to say that if you mention Enid Blyton to anybody from Britain they will at the very least have heard of her if not actually read her stories
I'm kind of amazed to find out as HarryT mentioned that an author such as Enid Blyton would be relatively unknown outside of our fair isles.
