Noddy: Enid Blyton's Noddy is one of the most recognisable
icons in British culture. Noddy began when David White the
managing director of Sampson Low and Company ltd, was keen
to begin a new series of books with Enid Blyton. He wanted
to create a popular character for younger children with bright
and colourful illustrations. David met Enid at his Mayfair
office to show her sample work by a number of illustrators.
Enid selected the Dutch artist Harmsen van der Beek who had
provided a few illustrations for her book the Fourth holiday
book published in July 1949. She insisted on meeting the artist
before considering ideas for the new series. Beek traveled
from Amsterdam (Holland) for the arranged meeting with Enid
and within two hours they had imagined Noddy goes to Toyland
through words and sketches. A collaboration was enthusiastically
agreed, with Enid and Van der Beek each receiving a 5 per
cent royalty. Enid usually got 15 per cent, but accepted a
lower rate because the books were going to be heavily illustrated
in colour. Within four days Enid had sent off her first two
Noddy book manuscripts to David White with the accompanying
note: ' I have finished the first two little Noddy books and
here they are. I have written them with a view to give van
der Beek all the scope possible for his particular genius
- toys - pixies, goblins, Toyland, brick-houses, dolls houses,
toadstool houses, market-places - he'll really enjoy himself
! I don't want to tell him how to interpret anything because
he'll do it much better if he has a perfectly free hand -
but as Noddy ( the little nodding man ), big-ears the pixie,
and Mr. and Mrs. Tubby ( the teddy bears ) will probably feature
in further books, and will be "important" characters as far
as these books are concerned, I'd be very glad if he could
sketch out these characters and let me see roughs'. Beek worked
quickly and soon Enid had received the first of many beautiful
illustrations. Both of Enid's daughters remember their mother
unpacking the artwork with great delight. Enid would lay them
out in the lounge. Van der Beek she said had created Noddy
and his environment exactly as she had visualised them. The
first book Noddy goes to Toyland was published in November
1949. It is reputed that by Christmas 1958, over twenty million
Noddy books had been sold in Britain and Australia. |
