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 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. |
