A loving tribute to Enid Blyton


The very British author made a huge impact on one Malay-Muslim teenager in Malaysia.

I PROMISED myself that, one day, I would write a personal tribute to my all-time favourite author, Enid Blyton (1897-1968). This British writer shaped my values and soul at an early age, and much of who I am and what I stand for presently, I attribute to her influence.
