i bought this book because when i was at junior school (yr 6) my teacher read this to the class, and i was encased in the story from then on, this is a brilliant story even if after you read it you're not quite sure what it was about. it isn't a very long book so it's perfect to read to your kids (those that don't scare easy) i am now 17 and still look on this book with fond memories.

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.

My daughter and I love these fairies. It is a wonderful little book that opens up oh so many pictures in our heads of things we can do with the bits and pieces. Regretted terribly that I had not ordered several to give away, and am going to buy a bunch to have a fairy making party this summer.

This is a fantastic book for fans and collectors of the Famous Five, whatever their age. It is a handsome book, carefully and artistically produced. It is a thick hard-backed volume, 253 pages long, in full colour, and seemingly assembled with much love and respect as well as affection towards both Enid Blyton and the Famous Five.
The book is not only packed with plenty of articles on how to survive various situations, such as shipwrecks, being lost, crossing rivers, cracking codes,climbing rocks,spotting a liar, etc, but also contains a full-length new Famous Five story about a long lost treasure. The story portion of the book is excellently illustrated in full colour, in a style very reminiscent of the original 'Fives' illustrator, ... Read More:
A few years ago, Hayao Miyazaki made a gorgeous anime movie based on the classic fantasy novel "Howl's Moving Castle," about a wizard and the artificially-aged girl who falls for him.
It must have made Diana Wynne Jones nostalgic for her flamboyantly-dressed, quirky wizard hero and his little family, because he plays a pivotal role in "The House of Many Ways." And the rest of the book is the kind of work Jones has been producing for many years -- a complex, tight little plot full of magical mysteries and bizarre problems, and at least one gutsy adolescent hero.
When the Wizard of High Norland falls ill and has to be hospitalized by elves, his great-great-niece-by-marriage Charmain is roped into taking care of his cottage. ... Read More:

Who would deliberately lure somebody on to treacherous rocks on the Cornish coast? Somebody is flashing lights from the old tower on stormy nights--and the Famous Five sense danger. But can they solve this mystery safely? Is the blurb, I like it when Julian and Dick dress up as Clopper the Horse because it is very amusing and it makes me laugh all the time when I see the funny picture. I would rate this incredibly humorous story a seven or eight out of ten. So, if you like humour and adventures this is a must read for you. And I guarantee you'll be fond of it.
