What's Up with Enid Blyton?

She’s everyone and their aunt’s favourite children’s author, but Enid Blyton’s books are a cultural minefield. We talk about “goblins”, Moonface, the naughtiest girls and more as we look back at Blyton’s writing to see what’s aged well and how her work has been tailored in recent years to be politically correct.
