Summary

Meet Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timothy. Together they are The Famous Five.

'There was something else out on the sea by the rocks - something dark that seemed to lurch out of the waves...What could it be?'

Julian, Dick and Anne are spending the holidays with their tomboy cousin George and her dog, Timothy. One day, George takes them to explore nearby Kirrin Island, with its rocky little coast and old ruined castle on the top. 

Over on the island, they make a thrilling discovery, which leads them deep into the dungeons of Kirrin Castle on a dangerous adventure. Who - and what - will they find there?

Love this children’s series

Found the authors pronunciation of Polzeath grating at the beginning but other than that it was a good narration of a great children’s story.

Kids loved it

But OMG the anachronistic gender stereotypes gave us some interesting talking points. Phrases like "almost as good as a boy" crop up a lot. I now understand what 'internalised misogyny' means.
