stefhyena's review against another edition
1.0
When I was a child I LOVED Enid Blyton and I wanted to love this book too but I just couldn't. Read this next to Mr Pinkwhistle (same author). Why is one such a hero and the other a horrid "meddler" when both are motivated by wanting to help. As an adult I can see an irony in the discontinuity and wonder if it's deliberate and humorous. As a child it seemed unjust and cruel and made me upset.
I just didn't enjoy reading these but I read them anyway because Blyton was that much of a favourite. Not that I tend to be a hero-worshipper or anything...

I absolutely hate this book :( Mr. Meddle very obviously has special needs, yet he goes out day after day, trying to help anyone in need. He invariably gets it wrong and is cruelly bullied, mocked and ridiculed for both his effort and the result. Horrible book, really awful.
