Autograph letter signed, 'Enid Blyton', Enid Blyton Green Hedges letterhead, no date, circa 1950s, to [Robert M.] Holbrow, 'I enclose a special message - I think it's very nice of you to give me the space.

The reason is that if we allow some of the reviews to be longer, everyone will tend to think that the book he is doing at the moment deserves a longer one, and the average length will tend towards 400 words or 500 words again. Later on, when the scheme is well established, we shall probably very [sic] them a bit', all on letterhead printed in black, a little soiling and age toning, each one page, oblong 8vo, together with a brief autograph letter signed to Jones from (?)Selwyn, a sheet of letterhead with ballpoint pen notes and a printed sheet for Bedford Park Festival, 1967, the latter two heavily spotted (Qty: 6)George Orwell was hired as literary editor by the Tribune in 1943, writing a series of columns, as well as commissioning and writing reviews.
