Carey Blyton, nephew of the children’s writer Enid Blyton, was born in Beckenham, Kent in 1932. He became a well-known composer, writing much music for film and television, and achieved worldwide fame as the creator of the nonsense song, Bananas in Pyjamas. Throughout his career he was also a writer of prose, and here, collected for the first time, are all of his short stories, together with Summer in the Country, an autobiographical fragment dealing with his experiences as a wartime evacuee.
This is an attractive hardback volume of 120 pages with a glossy dust-jacket; the autobiographical section also contains a handful of photographic illustrations. Purchasers of this book may also like to consider Composer Interviews no 1: Carey Blyton. The Fand catalogue also contains several printed scores, and more than a dozen CDs, of Carey Blyton’s music.
This work can be heard on the Martin Read – A Celebration CD.
