Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Remembering from Childhood
I remember this series from when I was in 5th grade. I was in a new school system and my teacher Miss (Barbara) Holmes would read these stories to the class after we had finished that day's lessons, provided there was time.

I hung on every word. Miss Holmes read these stories with energy and joy and had us all wanting to hear what happened next. After reading "The Hardy Boys" mysteries and, as they said on "The Simpsons", wondering why it seemed they were all about smugglers, Enid Blyton's book were very different. They were great. They had characters that had depth. The stories were really suspensful and exciting. And they also a parrot that screamed "God save the Queen!" at the worst possible time. What more could one want?

Thank you, Miss Holmes. I hope others will be able to experience the joy I felt reading these stories, or, better yet, having someone read these books to them.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great stories for children
Enid Blyton was one of the premier writers of children's adventure stories. I read these same stories as a child over 50 years ago, and now I'm delighted to have found them to give to my granddaughter! They feature both boys and girls in action roles, and even though they are set in what is now our past, they remain among the best I can remember. Better than either the Hardy Boys series or the Nancy Drew series, because they aren't just who-done-it stories.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Very Fond Memories
When I attended a private school for English speaking kids in Italy, Enid Blyton's "Adventure" novels were the most popular books in the school library. This was in 1964. Most of the eight novels were always checked out, and I was never able to read all of them by the time my parents took me back to the States. The ones I did read I enjoyed tremendously! Until I got a computer, I never knew you could buy them in the U.S. Most U.S. libraries don't have Blyton's books. But now, at the age of 52, I can now finish the series. Only I can't remember which novels I've read! Guess I have to read them all. Thanks Amazon!


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Adventure Series a must have for kids
My Mother read my siblings and I these books when we were kids. We just loved them and would hate when she would have to put it down for the night. I will for sure read them to my kids when I have them. Thank you Amazon for carrying these wonderful books by this wonderful Author.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - 2 smashing stories
The very first book was least better than the second one but it was still really good. the adventures were really smashing!!! these books by enid blyton are suitable for 7 to 11 and some of the famous five series ages 8 to 12 (some of the adventures are quite violent).
The very first 2 were quite funny. like at one time kiki (parrot) scared a few men at night in a castle, because they were looking for 2 peole (read it and you'll know who).
Some of it was boring but you just have to read it to get drawn into this book. Some of it was a bit too unreal.
all in all i thought this was another excellent book and anyone and i mean ANYONE should enjoy them!!! enjoy! :-)
