Enid Blyton
Enid Blyton (1897-1968) var en britisk forfatter til flere end 600 børnebøger, heriblandt de populære spændingsromaner om De 5. Meget af Enid Blytons forfatterskab omhandler børn på eventyr, der løser mysterier og bekæmper kriminalitet, og denne spændingsfyldte cocktail har sikret De 5's popularitet, siden den første bog udkom i 1942.
