Editing Enid Blyton (section)

===Final works===
Many of Blyton's series, including Noddy and The Famous Five, continued to be successful in the 1960s; by 1962, 26 million copies of Noddy had been sold.{{R|EBSChrono}}{{Efn|In 1960 alone, eleven Noddy books were published, including the strip books ''Noddy and the Runaway Wheel'', ''Noddy's Bag of Money'', and ''Noddy's Car Gets into Trouble''.{{R|EBSChrono}}}} Blyton concluded several of her long-running series in 1963, publishing the last books of The Famous Five (''[[Five Are Together Again]]'') and The Secret Seven (''Fun for the Secret Seven''); she also produced three more Brer Rabbit books with the illustrator Grace Lodge: ''Brer Rabbit Again'', ''Brer Rabbit Book'', and ''Brer Rabbit's a Rascal''. In 1962, many of her books were among the first to be published by [[Armada Books]] in paperback, making them more affordable to children.{{R|EBSChrono}}

After 1963, Blyton's output was generally confined to short stories and books intended for very young readers, such as ''Learn to Count with Noddy'' and ''Learn to Tell Time with Noddy'' in 1965, and ''Stories for Bedtime'' and the Sunshine Picture Story Book collection in 1966. Her declining health and a falling off in readership among older children have been put forward as the principal reasons for this change in trend.{{Sfnp|Briggs|Butts|Orville Grenby|2008|p=265|ps=none}} Blyton published her last book in the Noddy series, ''Noddy and the Aeroplane'', in February 1964. In May of the following year, she published ''Mixed Bag'', a songbook with music written by her nephew Carey, and in August she released her last full-length books, ''The Man Who Stopped to Help'' and ''The Boy Who Came Back''.{{R|EBSChrono}}
