Enid Blyton's here comes Noddy again! (Noddy library) by Enid Blyton

Mao and his policies have long been demonised in the West, with the Cultural Revolution considered a fundamental violation of human rights.

As China embraces capitalism, the Mao era is being surgically denigrated by the Chinese political and intellectual elite. This book tackles the extremely negative depiction of China under Mao in recent publications and argues most people in China, including the rural poor and the urban working class, actually benefited from Mao's policy of a comprehensive welfare system for the urban and basic health and education provision for the rural, which is being reversed in the current rush towards capitalism.

By a critical analysis of the mainstream account of the Mao era and the Cultural Revolution and by revealing what is offered in the unofficial e-media debates this book sets the record straight, making a convincing argument for the positive effects of Mao's policies on the well-being of the Chinese people.

Enid Blyton, who died in 1968, is one of the most successful children's authors of all time. She wrote over 700 books, which have been translated into more than forty languages and have sold more than 400 million copies around the world. Her stories of magic, adventure and friendship continue to enchant children the world over. Enid Blyton's beloved works include The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, Malory Towers, The Faraway Tree, and Adventure series. Rebecca Cobb is a rising star in children's picture books. Having collaborated on two picture storybooks with the Orange Prize winner Helen Dunmore, Rebecca's debut solo project, the hugely accomplished and heartbreakingly beautiful Missing Mummy, was published by Macmillan in 2011. The gorgeously funny and well-received Lunchtime followed and, in addition, Rebecca's stunning illustrations accompanied Julia's Donaldson's wonderfully lyrical story in The Paper Dolls. Aunt Amelia, Rebecca Cobb's most recent picture book, is every bit as warm, engaging and original as her existing books, and is sure to continue to establish her as a real one to watch. Rebecca lives in Cornwall.
