Does anyone know the name of Enid Blyton's diary?

Question

I don't think it was written under her own name, but perhaps under the pseudonym of 'pollack'.

Does anyone have more information?

THE MOST FRUSTRATING thing is that I actually had it in my hands in Borders books about two years ago, and I decided to buy it 'after pay day' but never went back. So I know it exists somewhere!

Answer 1

I found this site - http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/author/chronology.php
It mentions that the Enid Blyton Diary was published in November 1948.... but I couldn't find any other reference to it but then I did only have a quick look.

I wonder could it actually be called:
Enid Blyton, The Story of My Life, London, revised edition, 1986.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/story-my-life-Enid-Blyton/dp/B0000CIFEU/sr=1-1/qid=1162850710/ref=sr_1_1/202-1317720-5748632?ie=UTF8&s=books
The above link leads you to two sellers selling the 1952 version of the book - price either £12 or £120!

I can't find a review of the book so that you can check that it's the right one - but it is mentioned on this site too (along with other references to books about her)

Hope that this helps

Answer 2

The Enid Blyton Society website mentions a diary first being published in 1948. Borders should still have it listed in their catalogue if they used to stock it, and may be able to order it, or try Ebay

Enid Blyton's married name was Pollock, and she did publish some fiction under the pseudonym Mary Pollock

Answer 4

Didn't even know she had written one. I've been collecting her books since childhood, but that would be an interesting addition.
