Camping again! This time the gang of Five have pitched their tent near an old ruined cottage - which looks as though it's been abandoned for years! When Anne hears strange noises at night - coming from the cottage - the others don't believe her ...Until they see the ghostly lights. All of a sudden camping doesn't seem like quite such a good idea. Is the cottage really haunted, or is there another, just as sinister, explanation? These classic editions feature Enid Blyton's unchanged text and Eillen A. Soper's original illustrations.

Born in London in 1897, Enid lived much of her life in Buckinghamshire and loved dogs, gardening and the countryside. She was very knowledgeable about trees, flowers, birds and animals. Dorset - where some of the Famous Five's adventures are set - was a favourite place of hers too.

Still Great After All These Years

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

The Famous Five series by Enid Blyton were a favorite when I was a child in England (60 years ago!). I bought the whole series for my granddaughter and re-read them. Just as great a thriller as when I was a kid, but more interesting in that some of the issues addressed would astound a modern kid. For example, the focus on buying food...at the time these were written, we were on rations for things like eggs, milk and ham. Also the independence these kids were depicted as having; going off on adventures with only the oldest, at 16, in charge. Helicopter parents today would go into cardiac arrest. The book(s) actually provided a discussion base with my granddaughter; she found them intriguing and fun, and I was delighted that, despite depicting another era, the mysteries themselves stood the test of time!

Favorite book as a child

As a child in England, reading the Famous Five books was one of my most vivid memories. I would get completely involved in the stories and characters. I bought my 9 yr old granddaughter two books at Christmas. To my delight she loved the books for exactly the same reasons I had. She asked me to get her some more....................

I bought the entire set of the Famous Five Kindle e books. It has been a lovely walk down nostalgia lane. I wish the Mystery series and the Barney series would be released as well.

THE BEST FOR A FIRST READ!

Enid’s books were the catalyst which encouraged me to start reading more than 50 years ago. Thank you, Enid. The BBC, many libraries, local authorities and alleged educational experts have been completely wrong about the worth of the Blyton works. I can remember having substantial difficulty obtaining the original books as so many places would not stock them. The stories are great to read for their simplicity and straightforwardness.

When one did find copies of the book they were quite expensive all those years ago but great to own. I loved the letter on the back cover from Enid and the physical appearance of the book which I treasured as a youngster with the way the books were produced then which made them somehow much easier to read.

It’s a delight to read the stories again in middle age although recent editing has diminished some of the memories I have of the original editions and words used then (but I am now getting old). Never mind… these books remain one of my best friends for life: they began my reading adventure so do read these special adventures for yourselves.

Great series to grow up with!

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 1999

I have loved every single Famous Five book...have read all of them when I was little. I think all of Enid Blyton's books are great to grow up with, I hope kids still continue to read her books and continue to love them.

an enchanting adventure for boys and girls alike

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 1999

George and Ann begin this adventure alone. They go off camping and are later joined by Julian and Dick. Of course, in no time at all they are deep in an adventure. This book has it all - hidden passageways, danger, excitement, etc. I just love all of Enid Blyton's books. They are so exciting and really fire the imagination. I read them as a child and couldn't get enough. How happy I was to find them still in print through Amazon.com. Now my children are reading them too. My son, who isn't much into reading in general, has really enjoyed them. This one arrived yesterday, I read the entire thing, and I know he will love it too. How can you miss with such brave characters, and secret passageways!

Famous Five

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 17, 2005

I have now read all 21 of the Famous Five books, they depict an age long gone, when children could go off on holiday without adults, the "bad guys" are decent and when the Five get into trouble, no-one gets really hurt - tied up at times or locked up, but they always get out of trouble. They have great fun fending for themselves, always find a mystery to solve and solve it too.
The content may be old fashioned - I had to keep reminding my daughter (9) that they don't sit in front of televison all day or have playstations, game boys or anything else. They have to find a telephone box to call the police - no mobiles then. They never get bored, also they eat proper meals and don't snack all day on junk food - they have the odd ice cream and biscuits but they walk or cycle just about everywhere.
Enid Blyton should be compulsory reading for everyone. She was the JK Rowling of her day and I was raised on Enid Blyton books. I am now a mum of 2 and still enjoy reading Enid and a host of other authors of children's and adult books. Have read all 6 Harry Potter books too.

They stay in an old cottage but discover some people are searching for blueprints yet in the wrong place. Eventually the Famous Five get into the secret way along with some new friends. After a long hunt the 5 gong an old case which appears to be empty however at last the inspector manages to get them and Uncle Quentin says that there is only 2 ever printed!!! The bad guys are captured by the police.
I liked this book because I think it is very exciting and it is written by Enid Blyton who is one of my favourite authors. I'd recommend this book to any Enid Blyton fan and pretty much anyone else who just likes reading. I chose 5 stars because this is an Enid Blyton book and they are the best!!!
