Pure Nostalgic Indulgence
Let's start by saying that I'm a middle aged man, and this is not the kind of thing I'd normally listen to -- but it was in a 2 for 1 sale and I felt I would treat myself to a little childhood nostalgia.
I grew up on the Famous Five; I'd read all twenty one books by the time I was eleven, and was thoroughly captivated by the world of adventure that Enid Blyton had created for us.
So, I took a few hours out of my life to recap on this childhood classic, now in audiobook format -- and I'm not disappointed at all.
Yes, some people will complain about the updated wording and introduction of more politically correct language, and I agree that they have a point -- If I was buying the books I'd be searching ebay for some unaltered original copies -- but it's not worth getting fixated on, because the story and characters are still the same, and the language may make more sense to modern youngsters.
I forgot how much of an ******* Uncle Quentin was!
My recommendation is that you get this and the rest of the series for your kids (or yourself), and take your imagination back to a more innocent time!

Excellent narration and story
Mel was excellent reading this and deserves lashings of ginger beer for her efforts.
It’s a long long time since I read these books as a child and listening to it again reminded me of a simpler time and of a nicer life. The story was surprisingly intense at times and although my older eyes can see the plot holes, I enjoyed it greatly.
My kids adore the books. I’ve bought 1,3, 4 & 5 (cheaper if you buy the kindle version and add on the audible version. I’ll buy 2 shortly as this has made me want to revisit them. Mel was a revelation.

Very nostalgic but dreadful narration
I thought I would treat myself to a Famous Five and remind myself how exciting they all were when I was reading them as a child. The story didn't fail to bring back nostalgic memories (some 50 years on!) and at first I thought Mel Giedroyc was going to be a good reader. Not so though. She seemed to get quicker and quicker, and when reading narrative, often spoke so fast that I had difficulty in following what she was saying. It completely spoilt my enjoyment. I would certainly listen to other Famous Five stories but not read by Ms Giedroyc!
