Product Description
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.

The children can be trusted to go off on their own with Timmy and are plunged headlong into adventure. There are villains, strange night-time goings-on, thunder storms, and secret passages, and a comedy of errors.
This is one of Ms Blyton's better Famous Five books.
A great read.

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.

Enid Blyton's Famous Five series are the best childrens books in the world. Following the exciting adventures of Julian, Dick, George, Anne, and Timmy the dog will fire the imagination of any child and will develop a deep passion for reading. Thank you Enid Blyton! I recommend all of her books.
