Blyton (Enid, 1897-1968). Autograph letter signed, 'Enid Blyton', letterhead of Enid Blyton, Old Thatch, Bourne End, Bucks, 21 August 1934, to Mr Allen, 'I now return the picture, which is truly a work of art! However many hours did it take the artist, I wonder? She has drawn it beautifully. I have been going through my scheme and looking at the picture at the same time. As each of my animals has to have a home of some sort, I find that there are not quite enough holes and stones in the picture so I have marked where extra ones are to go. Also, the hedge is not quite large enough - it is supposed to be a high, unclipped hedge, but if the artist could put a few more sprays in as indicated, growing up in the air, so that birds can be adjusted on them later, it would get over that difficulty. Also, I would like two sprays drawn out of the top of the hedge, where the spider and its web may be pasted on, later', continues in similar vein with suggestions and compliments, 'The plants are excellent. Is this artist going to do the drawings for the stories? I hope so, as she will then know the right proportion to do the various creatures. The picture is most attractive and will look lovely when coloured...', four pages on two sheets of letterhead printed in red, old pin hole rust mark to upper margin and a few spots, 8vo, together with a typed letter signed from B.H. Allan to (the artist) Miss F.I. Noble, letterhead of the Teachers World, London, 23 August 1934, 'As you see from the letter from Miss Blyton I enclose, she is delighted with the picture, but she would like some alterations made. (We will of course take this into consideration when paying you for the work.) Will you please, in addition to what Miss Blyton says, note the following points... ', two pages with long manuscript postscript, some soiling and creasing and a few marginal splits, 4to, plus two original watercolours (presumably by Miss Noble), one of a rabbit and one of a plant by a rabbit hole, both unsigned and uncaptioned, 10.5 x 15cm (Qty: 4) Hedgerow Tales was first published in November 1935 and consisted of 24 short stories which had been originally serialised in Junior Teacher's World (September 1934 to July 1935). The two watercolours are probably the work of Miss Noble and were intended for inclusion in one of the above short stories.
