Five On A Treasure Island: Book 1 (Famous Five) Paperback

Four cousins, a dog and an island with a wreck off its shore open the Famous Five series. Enid Blyton's first Famous Five book introduces Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy, and establishes the pattern of summer freedom, self-reliance and discovery that runs through the whole series. The children camp, row, explore ruins and work out what adults have overlooked, all in plain prose with short chapters. Reading this one first is worthwhile, since the group's relationships, and George's in particular, are set up here and assumed later. Features at a glance: • The opening volume of the Famous Five series • Introduces the five characters and their island setting • 192 pages in paperback from Hodder Children's Books • Best read before the later numbered titles For readers around eight to twelve starting a classic adventure series at Boipoka.
