Enid Blyton

Enid Blyton wrote around 700 books and about 2,000 short stories as well as poems and countless magazine articles. In 1950 she set up her own limited company, Darrell Waters Ltd., to manage the fortune she was amassing. In addition to her writing, she invested a lot of energy and time in fundraising for charity. She encouraged thousands of her young fans to do the same, through special clubs she set up. They raised huge amounts in support of the PDSA pet charity and several charities devoted to helping children with disabilities.
