Listened to in audio format. I loved Enid Blyton as a child and I remember reading the Secret Seven and the Five Findouters with fondness. The St Clare's Series is based around twins Pat and Isobel O'Sullivan and their friends. I love these books they are so innocent, with the girls enjoying mi...
I've had this book for more than fifteen years in my bookcase now; I bought this when I was a child, for English reading program at my school back then. However, sometimes I'd reread it again if I wanted some classic light reading. As an adult, reading the book makes you remember the thoughts and im...
Well, here I am sitting in a car driving back to Melbourne (actually, to be precise I am in the passenger seat – my Dad is driving – even though the car has cruise control doesn't mean that I can write a book review and drive at the same time). Anyway, this is the last of the Famous Five books, and ...
Well, here we have it, the final Secret Seven book that I needed to read to complete the entire Secret Seven series (and as I have said a number of times previously since I hadn't read the entire series when I was I kid I can't really put it down as a reread). That leaves only one more Enid Blyton b...
Well, I have now read this book, though I will continue to do what I normally do when I wish to revisit a review and that is to keep my older one below (normally because there are still things there that are relevant despite me having reviewed this book without reading it in like 25 years). Now I ca...
Well, fortunately there is only one more Secret Seven (and one more Famous Five) book for me to read so I guess I should be looking forward to the fact that I don't have to read any more Enid Blyton books (and can start churning into some other books that I have been itching to read for a while, suc...
Well, I am getting close to reading all of the Enid Blyton books that I intend on reading (I have no interest in Mallory Towers or the Naughtiest School Girl, and since Blyton wrote heaps of books, and I have already read quite a few, I think I will leave it with the Famous Five and Secret Seven) so...
Well, there goes my goal of reading all of the Secret Seven books in order. I realised that I haven't read one for a while so I decided to grab this one, in case I finished my other book while I was on holidays (I didn't), and when I finished my last book I clicked on the 'reading now' tab on Goodre...
When I discovered this book it pretty much jumped to the top of my 'must get a copy of it' list, the reason being is that it contained a collection of stories from Greek Mythology and the Tales of 1001 Arabian Nights. Knowing a lot of Greek stories, and how sexually explicit some of them were, I wan...
It was great to revisit a story I loved so much as a child to find it as wonderful and magical as I did so many years ago. It's been nice to share that magic with my own kids.
