Enid Blyton Nature Prints

Eileen Soper, 1905-1990, daughter of George Soper produced about 180 etchings and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1921 making her at 15, the youngest ever exhibitor.  Two of her etchings were seen and bought by Queen Mary.

In 1942 the publishers Macmillan suggested Eileen Soper work with Enid Blyton on a series of nature readers and these commenced publication in 1942. 

Enid Blyton wrote the stories that Eileen Soper illustrated and this original print is one of the set commissioned.
