Unfortunately this title is no longer available
Picnics, summer holidays and lashings of ginger beer... it's hard not to picture the stories of Enid Blyton when thinking of these nostalgic moments. A prolific writer, Blyton penned over 700 books and thousands of short stories that captured an idyllic childhood full of adventure in the countryside. A common theme in Blyton's writing is the atmospheric representation of life in a rural landscape. Though her works spanned multiple genres, it was stories that focused on family that were her favourite to write. One of Blyton's most popular works was The Famous Five, a series of children's adventure stories that centre around a group of four cousins - Julian, Dick, Anne and George - and George's dog, Timmy. Reproduced here are the illustrations from the covers of two books in the series, Five on a Treasure Island and Five on Finniston Farm. These classic images are the works of Eileen Soper, whose illustrations bring the wonderfully nostalgic quality of Blyton's works to life. We are honoured to celebrate Enid Blyton's works with this commemorative design.
