Synopsis:
The film explores how the orderly, reassuringly clear worlds Enid Blyton created within her stories contrasted with the complexity of her own personal life. It sheds light on the ambitious and driven - but as yet unpublished - young woman, from the development of her rich imagination against the adversity of an imperfect childhood, two World Wars, and a first marriage ending in divorce - to household name.

Underwhelming - Enid review by MH

Spoiler Alert
19/01/2019

If you're an Enid Blyton fan, PLEASE don't watch this film. I assume it must be a fairly accurate portrayal of her, otherwise it would be besieged by libel complaints.

It shows her as a classic narcissist and a really nasty piece of work. Helena Bonham-Carter does a good acting job but has a really unpleasant character to portray.

Personally, even as a child I found her writing patronising, banal and boring, and her world-wide book sales of over 600 million absolutely mystify me.

I didn't think the subject matter warranted making a film about.
