Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Noddy: The Mystery of the Stolen Bicycles - Enid Blyton (Index Books Ltd, 2003 paperback) A scarce early-2000s Noddy picture book: The Mystery of the Stolen Bicycles by Enid Blyton. This is the Index Books Ltd paperback edition published in 2003 (ISBN 0-00-767351-5 / 978-0-00-767351-3). The story was first published in Great Britain by HarperCollins Publishers Ltd in 2002. Original retail price £2.99. Approximate dimensions 19 × 24.5 cm. Paperback picture book with full-colour illustrations throughout. Enid Mary Blyton (1897-1968) remains one of the most successful and enduring children's authors of the twentieth century. She wrote an estimated 600-800 books, including the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Five Find-Outers, Malory Towers, St Clare's, the Adventure series, the Faraway Tree and Wishing-Chair books, and, most famously, the Noddy series. Noddy first appeared in 1949 with Noddy Goes to Toyland (illustrated by the Dutch artist Harmsen van der Beek). The character quickly became a cultural phenomenon, spawning books, annuals, television series, toys and merchandise that continue to sell worldwide decades after Blyton's death. Copyright in the Noddy books is held by Enid Blyton Ltd; this edition carries the 2002 copyright notice of Enid Blyton Ltd. Blyton's signature mark and the words "NODDY" and "TOYLAND" are registered trade marks. This edition features bright, full-colour illustrations in the established early-2000s Noddy house style. The front cover shows Noddy (in his blue hat and red outfit), Big-Ears and Mr Plod posed against a glowing circular background, with the mischievous goblin silhouettes of Sly and Gobbo in the upper left. Interior spreads include the familiar Toy Town landscape, Town Square scenes with Miss Pink Cat and Tessie Bear, the police station, and the climactic picnic at Picnic Rock where the green-painted bicycles are discovered. The artwork maintains the cheerful, rounded character designs that generations of children recognise, while reflecting the cleaner, more contemporary colour palette used in Noddy books of the early 2000s. No individual illustrator is credited on the cover or in the standard bibliographic record for this edition; the illustrations follow the long-established Noddy visual tradition. This specific edition Publisher: Index Books Ltd (this edition published 2003 for Index Books Ltd) First published: HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 2002 ISBN-10: 0-00-767351-5 ISBN-13: 978-0-00-767351-3 Format: Illustrated picture book (unpaginated or approximately 28 pages) Series context: One of a short run of "Mystery of…" Noddy titles issued around the same time (companions include The Mystery of the Foggy Day, The Mystery of the Flyaway Balloon and The Mystery of the Missing Friends). The story follows Noddy, Big-Ears, Tessie Bear and Miss Pink Cat as the mischievous goblins Sly and Gobbo overhear talk of a picnic, steal the two bicycles, paint them green to disguise them, and are eventually caught at Picnic Rock when Noddy scrapes away the paint to reveal Big-Ears' bright orange handlebars. Perfect condition: clean pages, bright colours, complete book. Please check photos for the exact copy. This is a mass-market paperback from the early 2000s rather than one of the original 1949-1963 Noddy Library hardbacks. It is nevertheless one of the less commonly offered titles in the modern Noddy picture-book line. Ideal for Noddy collectors seeking the early-2000s "Mystery of…" titles, Enid Blyton enthusiasts, or anyone building a representative set of modern Noddy paperbacks. Uncredited (illustrator).…
