I don't remember his being, but he probably was. I do remember that Uncle Quentin turned out to be a "Flaming queer" (his terminology).

Not that I read them aloud to her - much as we both loved them, I never found that Blyton read aloud well, so she always had to read her to herself. I think she still does read Malory Towers and St Clares when she isn't well - but she doesn't like the Chalet School, which is most uncivilised of her!
