In Edwardian England, young Enid Blyton finds solace from her parents’ constant quarrels by spinning imaginative stories for her brothers, a gift that grows into ambition after her father abandons the family. As a young teacher in the aftermath of the Great War (World War I), she begins sending her tales to publishers, catching the eye of the charming Hugh Pollock who not only publishes her work but becomes her husband. Yet behind the public success lies a private turmoil: Enid struggles with motherhood, leaving her own daughters in the care of a nanny while delighting anonymous children with her enchanting stories. Her relentless self-absorption strains her marriage, manipulates those around her and sets the stage for a life of fame, adoration and scandal that will span decades.
