6 posts | 12 read | 2 to read
Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy the dog find excitement and adventure wherever they go in Enid Blyton's most popular series. In book fourteen, George is not pleased when Berta, a spoilt American girl, turns up at Kirrin Cottage in the dead of night. But George hasn't got time to be jealous, Berta is in hiding from kidnappers. The Famous Five are the only ones who can protect her - but will they take on dangerous criminals to help out a stranger? The text in this edition has been sensitively edited for today's reader and is unillustrated.

Not far from a full house on this one! Disappointed that there was no caves or loot, but there was a kidnapping, which I think may be the second or third so far. I enjoyed this one though!

Also, Enid Blyton has a bit of a thing for American accents...every time there‘s an American person in her books, they proclaim everything “wunnerful” and everyone takes the piss and tries to correct them.

It‘s obvious that these illustrations are from the 1970‘s - look at Anne‘s blouse! She could be an extra in one of the Austin Powers movies! Bonus points on Famous Five Bingo - Timmy wolfs down an ice cream in one lick and everyone exclaims that it‘s wasted on him 🐶 🍦

A bit of bath time reading before I have to go out. I‘d much rather stay here though! 🛁 🧼 🛀 🧽 💣 💐 📖 📚

rockpools Have I mentioned how much I‘m loving seeing these pop up? So many of the earliest ‘books I owned/bought‘ amongst this lot - including this one! 5y
