Being an avid Harry Potter reader , I live in perpetual curiosity of what will eventually happen to Harry when he confronts his biggest adversary, Voldermort in the final battle. But one day my thoughts wandered off to the woman who created them both... Rowling... and the battle between her and one of her biggest competitors,( and another one of my all-time favourites,) Enid Blyton.........Here are some of my retrospections............ Enter Enid Blyton's idyllic world. An exotic land of pixies, goblins, elves and children. Meet Moon Face, and Silky, who will introduce you to the wonders of the Faraway Tree. Where the Wishing Chair will whisk you to lands of untold treasures and delight. Trees will be made of chocolate cakes, and roads lined with ginger bread. As you grow a little older, you might visit Darrel Rivers, in Malory Towers, and whenever you feel hungry, you will find yourself....
A NERVE WRACKING EXPERIENCE!

I know it sounds lame, but can you blame me, considering my extreme distress and anxiety? Every instinct I possessed was urging me to end my ordeal there and try and run away, but I knew that it was hopeless. I was completely trapped. My assailants outnumbered me two to one.....
