Description
Enid Blyton first visited Dorset in 1931, drawn to the region by its natural beauty. She would return to spend many holidays in the town of Swanage, where she would walk, swim, and play golf with her daughters. This book explores what drew her back to Dorset and the pursuits she chose to follow while there. As Enid walked, swam, and explored the region, she drew inspiration for her stories. Although her books were fictional, they were often based on her own experiences and the places she knew. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into Enid's relationship with Dorset and the ways in which her love of the place influenced her writing. By retracing Enid's steps, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the places that inspired her stories. The real-life locations are just as interesting and exciting as the adventures of her fictional characters, making this book a unique and engaging read for anyone interested in Enid Blyton and her writing.
