Format:Paperback
This book is the first of the Barney series. It is aimed at the slightly older child but the Famous Five fans should love it. The action centres on a dilapidated mansion. There is the tutor who is not quite what one would expect, lashings of fabulous meals, a monkey, a circus boy who does not quite ring true, a cheeky 12 year old, two older cousins, a lunatic dog, secret passages, mystery and suspense. A musty atmosphere permeates the story and it is an excellent read.
You will not be disappointed with this one.

The Rockingdown Mystery - Great story!
8 Sep 2009
I am very pleased with the service of Amazon.com and the condition of the product I received.
I have been an Enid blyton collector since 1979. She is a great children novelist and her stories teaches good community values.
My first collection of over 200 Enid Blytons was lost, it was devastating. I started a new collection from 2002 and now I have 46 Enid Blytons. It was very difficult to find The Rockingdown Mystery, it hasn't been published for 3 years.

Amazon does amazing work!
