Naughty Amelia Jane! - Meet Amelia Jane. She's big. She's bad.. And she's the terror of the toy cupboard! Amelia Jane has caused trouble for generations. From snipping the tail off the pink rabbit, to squirting Tom the soldier with water, she is a very naughty doll! The other toys try to teach her to be good. They try and try, but can the world's naughtiest doll ever be good?

Amelia Jane is Naughty Again! - Amelia Jane, one of the most memorable and certainly the naughtiest of Enid Blyton's creations, is back - and she's as big, as bad, and as full of real child-appeal as ever! Will Amelia Jane ever stop? Now she's causing chaos with a boomerang, scribbling all over the nursery walls and playing all sorts of tricks on Mr Up-and-To! Sometimes the toys manage to trick her back, and she promises to be good from now on. But can the world's naughtiest doll ever be good?

Amelia Jane Again! - Amelia Jane just can't keep out of trouble. She is always playing practical jokes on the other toys. Like pretending to be a dog and growling at them. And making the teddy bear carry her home. The toys try to stop her, but it is clear that Amelia Jane will never be good.

Amelia Jane Gets into Trouble! - Sidney, the selfish teddy bear, has just come to the toy-cupboard. The toys are at their wits' end. If only they could teach Amelia Jane a lesson once and for all!

Good Idea, Amelia Jane! - Amelia Jane gets up to as much mischief as ever, swapping the toys' wind-up keys - so that the clockwork robot is jumping like a rabbit, the motor-car is turning head-over-heels and the mouse is zooming along like a train! Then she hides things inside the poor old bear's tummy, pours water down everyone's clothes! It's all in a day's work for naughty Amelia Jane. But the toys do sometimes manage to get her back - like painting spots on her to make her think she's got the measles, and making a special record to tell her what they really think of her!

More about Amelia Jane - Featuring the terror of the toy cupboard, Amelia Jane, these five classic Enid Blyton tales have been reinvented with new illustrations and are perfect for sharing with a new generation who will relish the naughty doll's errant escapades. Full of important messages that parents will be keen to impress upon their children, these mischievous tales see the patient toys try to teach Amelia Jane how to be good, and they eventually succeed in these lovely books.

About the author

Enid Mary Blyton (11 August 1897 – 28 November 1968) was a British children's writer known as both Enid Blyton and Mary Pollock. She was one of the most successful children's storytellers of the twentieth century. Once described as a "one-woman fiction machine", she is noted for numerous series of books based on recurring characters and designed for different age groups. Her books have enjoyed popular success in many parts of the world, and have sold over 400 million copies. By one measure, Blyton is the sixth most popular author worldwide: over 3400 translations of her books were available in 2007 according to UNESCO's Index Translationum; she is behind Lenin and almost equal to Shakespeare. One of her most widely known characters is Noddy, intended for beginning readers. However, her main forte is the young readers' novels, where children ride out their own adventures with minimal adult help. In this genre, particularly popular series include the Famous Five (consisting of 21 novels, 1942 – 1963, based on four children and their dog), the Five Find-Outers and Dog, (15 novels, 1943-1961, where five children regularly outwit the local police) as well as the Secret Seven (15 novels, 1949 – 1963, a society of seven children who solve various mysteries). Her work involves children's adventure stories, and fantasy, sometimes involving magic. Her books were and still are enormously popular in Britain, Malta, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Australia; and as translations in the former Yugoslavia, Japan, and across most of the globe. Her work has been translated into nearly 90 languages.
