A Spy in the House of Love.

Enid Blyton's Noddy in Toyland. It was between pages 4 and 5 when PC Plod threatened to whack Noddy around the chops with his truncheon for tormenting Tessie Bear.
Tessie was ever so grateful afterwards.

The most evocative thing I've read since 1976. No other character will ever compare to Noddy.

Parp, parp.

Lol How grateful? Always knew that Enid Blyton was a saucy minx!

Who know what happened in the Famous 5 before they reached the editor?

Strangely enough I was never fond of Rupert for many reasons, but mostly due to the fact my twot of a cousin wouldn't let me read his prized collection of hardback annuals. I was very much a Blyton fan.

For subliminal sexual imagery, surely Mr Pinkwhistle is a front runner. With titles such as Mr Pinkwhistle Interferes and let's not forget his black pussy that mewed for her master. BDSM tendencies perhaps?

Lol not quite the route I thought this thread would take but you've made me smile!

Makes you think of Peter Rabbit in a whole new light....

Averagejoe, I'm really sorry for helping your blog to go off at an unexpected tangent. It seems I have an irritating habit of doing this (oh, well). The truth is, I couldn't think of a 'non-erotic' book with anything interesting to comment on.

I am currently reading two books:

The first I have just started and is a book discussed and recommended in the blogs at some point. Whilst I'm still not sure how I feel about its subject matter, it is, without doubt, the most erotic book I have ever read and certainly not for the feint-hearted.

The second, is on motion leadership and managing change (yaaawwwn and stretch).

See, I lead such an exciting life ...

Luv2sucU don't worry ... The great thing I have found about blogs since joining is that they gain a life of their own. They way the begin is sometimes the complete opposite in the way they fade out into oblivion. This is not a bad at all! I thought it was going to be hot sexy page turners but instead I've got a big smile and looking at hidden meanings in Enid Blyton books :-D

Just pleased you all saw it fit to comment. Now no responses that would've been bad!

Motion leadership and managing you say? Phhwwooaarr! ;-)

MacBloke, "I'm swapping to Endi Blyton ..."

I could have won a version of Junior Mastermind before the age of 10 on the subject of Blyton books and I still own many of them (sad, I know). Many of the stories, book tittles and characters have been drastically altered over the years to accommodate our British sensibilities. Apparently some were inappropriate for younger readers. What do you think?

Characters:
Golliwogs with black faces; Aunt Fanny; Uncle Dick; Mr Wobbly Man; Mr Jumbo; Master Tubby Bear; Mr Pink-Whistle ... there are more

Storylines:
Adults with big ears befriending innocent 'wooden toys' called Noddy; secret walks in the woods; secret passages; Noddy cried - a lot!

Book Titles:
The Naughtiest Girl; The Naughtiest Girl Again; Naughty Amelia Jane;
5 Are Together Again; 5 Have Plenty of Fun; 5 Get Off in a Caravan;
Noddy and Tessie Bear Bare; Be Brave little Noddy; Noddy and the Magic Rubber; Here Cums Noddy; Here Cums Noddy Again.


Need I go on .... ?

There are some very, very naughty bits in Against The Day by Thomas Pynchon. Trouble is, the book is nearly 1100 pages long and like an idiot I didn't mark the relevant ones. It's a bloody amazing book anyway, so well worth a read.
