"The stories are inventive and fantastic and have continued to delight children. Like many of Blyton's books, they also provide an insight into a particular vision of mid-twentieth-century domestic life, which some modern readers find charming and others somewhat offensive as they choose to view it through a modern prism." - There is debate over Enid Blyton and whether she's racist/sexist/classist, this paragraph seems to have been written by a fan justifying her against these claims and is not particularly neutral.

Have they made a film or movie based on the books? I would love it if they did

There's a sort of cartoon series of programs about the three kids. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ladywitchthought (talkcontribs) 03:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Names

I see the message when trying to edit the article about the names. I agree that either set of names is acceptable, but presumably they should be consistent throughout the article. Is there a decision I've been missing as to which to go for? —Celestianpower háblame 14:12, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
