This 70th anniversary edition features the Classic editions of three Famous Five adventures (books 10-12) in one volume and contains the original cover art and inside drawings by Eileen Soper. The Famous Five Collection 4: Books 10-12 (Famous Five, #10-12)
So much nostalgia for these books. I remember getting super mad at the gender roles even as a child (like. girls can do everything boys can, so why do you have to treat the girls like they’re fragile and breakable. also Anne, make the boys help with doing the dishes and cleaning smfh).
Also, I’m sure Enid Blyton would have had an aneurysm upon the realization that she’d written a solid trans character without knowing it (: George always gets so happy when referred to as a boy, wears boys clothing, likes participating in traditionally “male” and refuses to answer to Georgina. I mean, come onnnnnnn, it’s waaaay past being a tomboy at that point. Kindle Edition Sometimes I enjoy reading children's books. It's my way to escape the adult world and just drown into the innocence of childhood.
The book is sweet and easy to read. I love all the adventurers. They all seem to have distinct personalities, especially George. Surprise! It's a girl.. No spoiling, though. Read the story and enjoy unveiling some of its secrets.
I love it! Kindle Edition Five Go On A Hike was I'm sorry to say a disappointment. Very predictable with an abrupt end. Not EB at her best. Kindle Edition 4.75 :)) Kindle Edition My 7 yr old daughter loved me reading these to her. This collection is the strongest of the first 4 in my opinion (a little less predictable and less repetitive - more interesting and exciting) Kindle Edition
CHARACTERS The Famous Five Collection 4: Books 10-12 (Famous Five, #10-12)
Lovely to revisit Blyton on my Kindle :-) Kindle Edition A set of the timeless Famous Five, a good afternoon read Kindle Edition I love the Famous Five books. They are so gentle and easy to read, a great option after a stressful day, or when the world just seems too rough. There's a few outdated gender roles of course, and I occasionally take issue with how rubbish the grown ups are at being parents. But none of that is really all that important. I still love them. It's a comfort to know that no matter what sort of fix the five get into, they'll find a way out of it. And this collection is no exception. The perfect companion to a snugly blanket and a hot mug of tea. Kindle Edition
