About this listen

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?

Since a lad in our dormitory at school read Five Go Down To The Sea to us I've always wanted to explore these books. The trouble was that there were very few of them in Braille in the school library and not long after that Mum said I was getting too big for children's books like these. But during the lockdown (we're still in this situation as I write this) I decided it was time to start collecting the whole series. So I got the first 8, two in the 2 for 1 sale, and have just finished this one. It was lovely to hear how the five got together and once George gets over her initial reservations and accepts her cousins she really is such a pleasant person. I felt for George as the book described her as not much as a mixer and fond of going off on her own. I wasn't much of a mixer at school and Mum and Dad often told me I should mix more but I just wasn't that way inclined. Still once I found my friends I was fine. I felt sorry for Quentin too as he so longed to give George all he could but couldn't until ... well, you'll find out as you listen. So often we misjudge grown ups as children but as we progress through life we realise that they mean well in all they're trying to do though it might not look like that in our childish years. Enid Blyton's final words in the book make it quite clear that there are more books to come and I love the way she does this. Anyway I look forward to book 2.

My mum used to read this to my sister and me. Bit problematic re gender etc in 2016 but can be forgiven considering time period. Really relaxing and comforting to go to sleep to even two decades later!

This is for kids around 10-13 (not exactly numbered, if you like it and you are younger/older then it doesn't matter) and is one of the most amazing books I have ever listened to! I like Enid Blytons books (especially the island of adventure series which I loved) and I just finished listening to this one. I won't spoil it for you :) If you like Enid, have a listen! You might enjoy xx

This book is amazing!!!
