A wonderful child's adventure tale., Nov 19 2007
By Graves - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Five Go Adventuring Again (Paperback)
The 2nd book in Blyton's "Famous five' series is one of my favorites. Set in the late 1940's the series tells the tales of 4 cousins and their dog who, in a world before video games and cell phones get involved with such goings on as smugglers and burried treasures and secret passages.This adventure is set in the winter holidays after the children's first adventure when they are straddled with a tutor for the holidays because of poor grades. Most of the children take to the tutor quite well, but since he does not like dogs, George, don't call her Georgina, does not like the tutor.
At first this just makes things difficult but as the situation deteriorates with secret paper's being stolen and people acting in peculiar ways, the children have to wonder, is George right in her suspicions or is it just her dislike for the tutor getting in the way of finding the real spies?
Add to this an ancient piece of parchment that details some secret passage and a blizzard that leave isolated farm houses cut off and the stage is set for adventure.

Old fashioned kids stories, April 16 2011
By Roger L. Sayer "Lenedwin" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Five Go Adventuring Again: AND Five Go to Demon's Rocks (Audio CD)
Enid Blyton was a favorite writer of childrens stories in the 40's, 50's and 60's and they were broadcast by BBC radio in 'Childrens Hour'. They are a bit passe but I bought them for sentimental reasons. I expect many elderly ex-Brits would do the same. But,alas,I fear modern children will find them corny and not at all entertaining. A pity, but these stories couldn't compete with the blitzkrieg of today's childrens fare.
