I am in love with Enid Blyton's books.The magic words of fantasy she uses, creates a fantastic world of pixies,elves,fairies etc.Animals and birds that can talk and sing,cows that could jump over the moon,witches,wizards ,genies,jugs,cups,cots and clocks with "magical "prefix make me awe struck at her imaginative power . How she ties them together to create a world that everybody will want to inhabit.Almost every story will convey something good to the child as well.The amateur detectives in the famous five and secret seven ,their secret meetings ,the codes they use,their caravans,their snacks-tin of chocolate biscuits,lemonades,cupcakes with orange sauce creams made me want to live in england when I was a child.The girls dormitories,the pranks played on each other,their cupboards,their term holidays had made me yearn for a school life like that .
Now a days our children are supplied with fairy tales and factbooks on science.They fall headlong into those bulky episodes of Harrypotter and goosebumps but in these works atleast the evil punished and happiness is ever after.But as we grow older SydneySheldon,Robin Hook,Harold Robbins etc we read are mostly concentrated on power,crime ,sex and money. They give every minute detail of place and incidents so that we are teleported to that place and occasion. whatever feeling it is panic,thrill or anything it is passed to us.Recently all the details of a donworld are brought into the limelight as the writers hire men to observe their worlds and bring out their works realistically.Films also recently have the trend of showing everything realistic.Subramanyapuram and paruthiveeran etc had the extra dose of violence in them and the last scenes in those films made me sit embarrassed and I couldn't even sleep for few days.And I was completely frightened when I got to know that a group of ruffians cut the throat of a young boy in madurai in the same style of subramanyapuram.Now a days my bed side table always have the stories from Toyland and Fairyland .The witches there are really harmless creatures and I love to inhabit that dreamland.I like a child refuse to wake up afraid of my dreams being shattered in my realistic world.
