The Enid Blytons I actually remember best are the Magic Faraway Tree books, in which the plucky children climb up into a magic tree that has a different magic land on it every day. Sadly my copy mysteriously disappeared (or perhaps dissolved after I dropped it into a bathtub, also highly plausible.)
Also, these were not super formative for me, but I've been trying to remember them for ages and can't - there was a series I used to read as a kid about teenaged twin ghosts who solved mysteries? I don't know what use the fact that they solved the mysteries served, seeing as no one could see them, but there were definitely mysteries!
