Edwardian child Enid Blyton finds solace in storytelling to escape her parents' arguments, which ultimately lead to her father's desertion. She becomes a teacher and publishes her stories, marrying her publisher Hugh Pollock and having two daughters. Despite being a neglectful mother, Enid focuses on her writing, showering attention on anonymous children while her daughters are raised by a nanny.
