Welcome to Litsy!

I found this one a little disjointed (were castle restorations ever mentioned in the novel?) - all is forgiven with the excitement of hidden tunnels and lots of appearances of my favourite distracted scientist / pretty useless dad, Quentin.

Regressed about three decades with my choice ot book here 😆 & continued with my comfort reads this month. This is the second Famous Five book & is set during Christmas. It begins with an appropriately 2020 tone, as Anne & her brothers Julian & Dick (lol) have to stay with cousin George & family at Kirrin Cottage during the hols because Mother has scarlet fever & Father has to quarantine 😷. Hijinks ensue & Timothy proves to be The Best Dog 🐶💖

I love the Famous Five and this book is no exception. I like that the story is short and there's always something going on. Great for children as well as adults who want to return to being kids for a bit. These books always make me smile.

Timmy the dog is not only a pet ... he‘s a crime-solving member of The Famous Five. 😆

I‘m not so sure what I think about the modern illustrations for these books. 🤔

I love the famous five reminds me of my childhood

takes me back to my childhood

Here's a classic, from 1942. It's the 2nd in Enid Blyton's whooping 21 volume Famous Five series. I found myself getting way more engaged with this story than I expected. Why why why does no one believe the child when she tells you her teacher is evil? Why does no one TRUST THE DOG's judgement??
