Enid Blyton's Noddy

Who would have thought? Little Noddy, the little wooden man, whose stories amused children for ages...and are apparently still popular.....Little Noddy, 'the nodding man', is actually making me money. I have some Noddy books from 'way back'.  I seemed to collect them, not only for my children and grandchildren, but, in the days when I taught 5 year-olds (for those oh-so-many years), it was always my end-of-year treat to read to them a series of Noddy books, chapter by (short) chapter, as bribes for "good work". Now, as I clean out my book shelves, I am reluctantly shedding Noddy and his little friends.  Not giving him away, but selling the books on eBay.
I have discovered that the Noddy books with the (politically incorrect) Golliwog pictured on the cover are in demand, as is the book that has (naughty!) Noddy sharing a bed with Big Ears the Brownie.
So, as I sadly say goodbye to my Noddy book collection, I am also smiling as I watch "Noddy Gets Into Trouble" (so far) reach $12.65 - and still time to go.
A few more Noddy books and I'll have enough money to buy myself a book to read......but not Noddy!
