Yes, Ms Blyton goes on record saying that she would sit at her typewriter and start typing. The story came to her as she typed. The characters she came up with were actually based on real people which helped with the characterisation
In an interview in 1968 Ms Blyton states that most of her characters where based on real adults and children. She would study these people and use their unique characteristic which would very quickly appear in the next book written
From reports Enid Blyton created a series of books and poems which children could relate to, use their imagination and develop their own individual reading skills. She was indeed very much like JK Rowling whose Potter books turned a new generation from playing to reading. Many criticised the language and terminology used but it was a very time specific use. In the 21st century these terms are considered offensive or have been adopted as offensive but with some reworking by publishers these many of the books have been brought up to date to fit in with current political correctness
Many at the time of her publishing height were very critical of the style of grammar used in the books. few if any real children focused authors were about at the time and those that were wrote in a vary adult way especially using more adult phrases. Enid Blyton wanted to use a language and grammar that were child friendly and that encouraged a child to want to read. Added to this was the way she worded many of the phrases, these were more considered "upper class" terms and diction i.e. Oh Golly Gosh" which was more of an exclamation used by those children from affluent backgrounds and did not reflect the normal speach modes of the majority. However, Blyton stayed with this process and found that despite the culture difference in the readership the books still grasped children's imagination and in turn encouraged many generations to read.

Yes, there are many children's books with settings in the woods, such as "The Gruffalo" by Julia Donaldson, "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, and "The Magic Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton. These books often use the woods as a magical and adventurous setting for their stories.
His fertile imagination always seems able to create another false pretense.
Enid Blyton was female. In her early life she states she made up stories and read these to her brothers. In later life having become a teacher she continued to create small stories and read these to her young students. It was this that made her consider write as she felt that the establishment of the time wrote at a level that was in fact above the language level of the children reading or hearing it. Basically it was children's stories written for adults which she felt was inappropriate and did not allow the children to use their imaginations to picture the scenes. In her latter years she was interviewed by the BBC in London and made it clear tat she had been heavily criticised by the corporation because of her writing yet she she was at the time the most read author of children's fiction in the world.
Yes, if you use your imagination and creativity. I don't think a cat can actually be green, but your imagination can take you anywhere you want!
I've Got to Use My Imagination was created in 1973-11.
She didnt change the world as such but she did bring about a different attitude to the way children's books were written. She believed that the use of the language in books of her time were aimed more at adults than children. By changing the phraseology and bringing it in to the type of speak used by children and young adults the books and therefore reading became more appealing
