Eighty years of “The Famous Five”

Enid Blyton’s book series The Famous Five turns eighty this year! Still much loved by children all over the world and translated into numerous languages, the series describes the holiday adventures of brothers Julian and Dick, their sister Anne, cousin George (Georgina, that is), and George’s pet dog Timmy.
