Who, interestingly, had her own issues, which are far more visible in the actual books (I think it'd be hard to find anti-semitic themes in most of Dahl's kids' books): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enid_Blyton#Racism,_xenophobia...

(Blyton probably wasn't that much worse than was standard for her time, but largely lacked Dahl's redeeming qualities)
