Directed by James Hawes it is based on the life of children's writer Enid Blyton, portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter. The film introduced the two main lovers of Blyton's life. Her first husband Hugh Pollock, who was also her publisher, was played by Matthew Macfadyen. Kenneth Darrell Waters, a London surgeon who became Blyton's second husband, was portrayed by Denis Lawson. The film, set in the 20th century, explored how the orderly, reassuringly clear worlds Blyton created within her stories contrasted with the complexity of her own personal life.
The film was filmed in London and Surrey in Britain. The film is a "major one-off" drama for Carnival Film & Television for BBC Four.
