Similarly one may ask, how many books did Enid Blyton write in her lifetime?
Blyton devoted herself full-time to writing from about 1924. From then until about 1965, she wrote more than 600 children's books and wrote innumerable articles for magazines. Some of her stories first appeared in Enid Blyton's Sunny Stories (1937–52) and other magazines she founded and edited over the years.
Are the famous five real?
Blyton loved the Isle of Purbeck but, being firmly attached to the rest of Dorset, it is an island in name only. It is no more real than Kirrin Island or Whispering Island.
