Enid Blyton

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

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

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.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
