Enid Blyton

I am not really much interested in talking to adults, although I suppose practically every mother in the kingdom knows my name and my books. It's their children I love. ”

If one can judge from the letters that I receive, it would seem that there are many thousands of children who would like me to speak or to read to them. ”

Writing for children is an art in itself, and a most interesting one. ”

I have written, probably, more books for children than any other writer, from story-books to plays, and can claim to know more about interesting children than most. ”

I get over a hundred letters a day from all over the world, from children and parents, and it's a wonder I ever have time to write books, let alone speak! ”

We must have Christian ethics for our children, good and strong, but we must make them attractive, too, and it can be done. ”

My work in books, films and talks lies almost wholly with children, and I have very little time to give to grown-ups. ”
