A beautiful shelf from South Australia

Lauren Smith, 13, South Australia, sent me a photograph of her Enid Blyton collection. Thank you, Lauren! I counted 53 books, but as Lauren mentioned, "some may be left out". Many life-long readers remember the joy of reading Blyton, whether it's sitting on the front porch with a new Famous Five, or secretly turning on a small flashlight after pretending to go to sleep. I still remember the Noddy collection we had at our public library. I used to read while walking back from the library (thank goodness I didn't bounce my head into the lamp posts!), but by the time I reached home I usually had to go back and pick another book.
