Five Go Adventuring Again

Famous Five Graphic Novel: Five Go Adventuring Again: Book 2 | Enid Blyton

pick

I found this one a little disjointed (were castle restorations ever mentioned in the novel?) - all is forgiven with the excitement of hidden tunnels and lots of appearances of my favourite distracted scientist / pretty useless dad, Quentin.

Regressed about three decades with my choice ot book here 😆 & continued with my comfort reads this month. This is the second Famous Five book & is set during Christmas. It begins with an appropriately 2020 tone, as Anne & her brothers Julian & Dick (lol) have to stay with cousin George & family at Kirrin Cottage during the hols because Mother has scarlet fever & Father has to quarantine 😷. Hijinks ensue & Timothy proves to be The Best Dog 🐶💖

batsy I'm quite fond of these cheesy 70s TV tie-in covers because it's the set of books my sisters read & I've managed to hang on to it over the years. Also when I was younger I might have had a crush on the boy who played Julian 😂 4y

batsy @AshleyHoss820 Yes! 🙂 4y

Rehesina I remember having the same cover on one of mine! I don't even remember what was in the book, but that cover just brought back memories of trips to the old book store. I think a famous five book (second hand) was around pkr 100, which was basically $1. 4y

AshleyHoss820 AND I just noticed your mug!! PERFECTION! 4y

batsy @AshleyHoss820 Haha, thanks! That mug cheers me up every time I use it 😁 4y

batsy @Rehesina I remember we had book rentals where there would be stacks of these and older editions! I wish I'd bought them all, when I look back 😆 4y

Rehesina @batsy same! that would have been a wonderful collection! 4y

I love the Famous Five and this book is no exception. I like that the story is short and there's always something going on. Great for children as well as adults who want to return to being kids for a bit. These books always make me smile.

Timmy the dog is not only a pet ... he‘s a crime-solving member of The Famous Five. 😆

I‘m not so sure what I think about the modern illustrations for these books. 🤔

Here's a classic, from 1942. It's the 2nd in Enid Blyton's whooping 21 volume Famous Five series. I found myself getting way more engaged with this story than I expected. Why why why does no one believe the child when she tells you her teacher is evil? Why does no one TRUST THE DOG's judgement??

shawnmooney I grew up with her books and credit my love of reading them. Strangely, perhaps, I never got into the Famous 5 series, reflecting, I guess, my lifelong disinterest in mysteries. But Enid Blyton rocks! 9y

Soscha @shawnmooney This was my 1st Enid Blyton's. My addiction came via Edward Eager/Half Magic, Donald Sobol's Secret Agents Four & Ivanhoe. To this day you talk trash about Wilfred of Ivanhoe I'm coming for ya. 9y
