The day I discoverd Enid Blyton

Sometime just after my 6th Standard Final Exams were over and the school closed for summer vacations - 3rd week of April 1979 - I was introduced to Enid Blyton's 'Secret Seven'. My elder bro Arun gave me this book 'Good Work Secret Seven'. It was lent to him by his friend - it would have been John Fernandes - but I am not sure. It was mid-morning - about 10ish when I started reading. It turned out so compelling that I read it through at one go. Finished it in 3 hrs!
That was 40 years ago. I got all the the 15 Secret Seven books within a couple of years - each of them read many times over!

I have this book now as a hard cover edition. The image is of the edition that I actually read 40 years ago.
