Welcome!
Welcome to the world of Carey Blyton: composer, writer and nonsense poet (and nephew of Enid). Carey is perhaps best known as the creator of the accidental children’s hit Bananas in Pyjamas, but he was an accomplished musician and a man of many talents—not to mention an all-pervading sense of humour.

New Bromley Library archive
After many years of sorting through Carey Blyton’s studio, the Carey Blyton Trust has now almost completed the third archive of his work. Already existing archives are, of course, at Trinity Laban Conservatoire and the British Film Institute (BFI).
Now Bromley Library has taken a collection of letters and scrapbooks, including memorabilia pertaining to The Beckenham Salon and the story of Bananas in Pyjamas’ success. The library, local to Carey’s birthplace in Beckenham, is also expecting to accept an archive of scores which don’t already reside at Trinity Laban.
