I absolutely adore Enid Blyton...read everything of hers until they fell apart, then begged for new copies. I am in the US, but was living and in school in Freeport (Grand Bahama) for a number of years, so was privy to more British authors than might have been the case otherwise.
Ohhh...for the midnight feasts at Malory Towers and St. Clares...and all the lovely times at Mistletoe Farm. <sniff> I'm quite nostalgic now.
