Blyton (Enid, 1897-1968). Autograph letter signed, 'Enid Blyton', Enid Blyton Green Hedges letterhead, 25 January 1948, to Mr Murray, 'When I went in to George's on Friday, Mrs Clarke showed me Aileen's book, and gave me your nice letter. I autographed the child's book with pleasure, of course, and am so glad she likes my stories. I expect she has my "Children's Life of Christ', which, I am happy to say, is as much a best-seller as any of my story books. Also my latest book, "Before I Go to Sleep", a collection of simple Bible Stories and Prayers for each day of the month, has had to reprint immediately. I am very happy to use the power of my name for books of this kind, because, having children of my own, I realise what a great help it is to give children a sound grounding in ethics. TV is always a pleasure to me when ministers, teachers, or other discerning people see that my stories are not merely entertainment, but something else as well!', two pages on letterhead printed in red, 8vo (Qty: 1)
