For "The Bard's Hall Contest" ![]() ![]() ![]() Enid Blyton's books As with many Indian kids of my generation, Enid Blyton's books were an integral part of my childhood. When I look back, not only were the tales themselves delightful and exciting, but there was a lot I gleaned about life, many lessons learnt, from those books. Here's a sampling: Family life As in 'Six Cousins at Mistletoe Farm' and many other books. The roles played by parents, siblings, cousins, spouses ... how families can live in harmony if members understand one another ... Teamwork How the team matters more than the individual, as in the school stories. Giving up one's place on the team for someone else because individual glory isn't a priority ... Friendship Sticking by each other through thick and thin, being loyal, poining out a friend's faults where necessary ... Responsibility Being responsible for your own actions, and, if in a position of authority, using that authority wisely ... This and a lot more I have understood while all along following the plot of a gripping tale! Thank you Enid Blyton! |
