Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Five Go Adventuring Again (The Famous Five #2)

I read about a dozen of the Famous Five books when I was a kid but I never really looked at the list of titles in the back to appreciate that in fact there were about two dozen of them and I had a random scattering of the titles. This is book number 2 and I'd not read it before this week when I read it to my daughter, Celyn. Being only the 2nd volume it's one where some of the basic 'mythology' of the series is established. Uncle Quentin's important "scientific work" is highlighted in this one. The book was written during the second world war and although the men who are trying to steal Uncle Quentin's SECRET FORMULA aren't identified as German spies ... that's who they are. Similarly, when they're hauled off at the end there's no hint that they were probably shot a week later! Enid Blyton wrote a vast number of books (~800) and she must have written most of them in the space of a few weeks. She also appears to know rather little about history, science, mechanics etc and it shows - but only to adults who find themselves reading the books. SOME SPOILERS here: The book revolves around the theft of Uncle Quentin's papers and unmasking the thief. There's really only one possible suspect and it's a bit disappointing that it turns out to be him. In the house are Uncle Quentin, Aunt Fanny, the children and the tutor. The farmhouse is isolated and snowbound. Important pages are stolen from Uncle Quentin's book and IMPORTANT TEST TUBES are BROKEN! Suspicious falls on naughty George, but when her father looks in her eyes as she denies it we are told that he believes her .... and yet no adult suspects the tutor... But, hey, it *was* him after all. I guess the matter was sealed at the very start when we're directed to the fact he has thin lips ... "like most cruel people" (not an exact quote). The other central issue is that of the Secret Way - which is a secret tunnel that for no apparent reason joins Kirrin Cottage to Kirrin Farm. It seems to be a vast and pointless feat of engineering. It doesn't even have smuggling potential. The secret of the Secret Path which becomes secretly crucial in the secret theft of the secret papers is, for some reason, written in Latin ... although the tunnel seems to only be a couple of hundred years old. Against reason (as in Lara Croft films) all the old mechanisms still work and not only unlock secret doors but helpfully move (and replace) slabs of stone etc. The Secret Way is described as being dug through sandy soil ... which boggles the mind ... and the children encounter cave-ins along the length of it, meaning that their exploration of it is actually mind-bendingly fool-hardy. Timmy is deployed in his usual Swiss Army knife dog mode, capable of almost any feat and able to down his enemies without actually ripping large chunks out of them. Anyway, the baddies are defeated (hoorah!) and the children save the day. I did like the bit where the Christmas tree was decorated with candles that were then lit! I suppose if you're going to live like that then digging your way through collapsing sand tunnels is par for the course! Note, another series in which Blyton includes a Dick and Fanny ... did she know? Join my 3-emails-a-year newsletter #prizes ….

I first read this as a child in 1954 I think it was. Like most of my contemporaries I loved The Famous Five series. Re-reading 60 years on was a piece of pure nostalgia. Of course it's a book for children but then I'm a big kid at heart!

The five come together again at the Christmas holidays. Julian, Dick, Anne and George (don't call her Georgina!) and of course Timothy the dog all gather at Kirran Cottage. But not everything is going to be fun and games. Three of the kids need tutoring to improve their grades, so a tutor is hired. Even with lessons taking up some of their time each day, they still manage to find adventure and a mystery to solve! There is a thief sneaking about....and the 5 need to find the culprit! I can see

Enjoyable, but not as good as the first. These books written in the 40s sure had the same style. The old "I'm here for work" ploy. George was ok, but Trixie would have seen through it sooner and proved it sooner, and not whined about it the whole time. That's why Trixie is still tops for me, over these Famous Five and over that spoiled rich Nancy Drew. :)

Five adventuring again, the second in the series. Unfortunately, after all the adventures in the first book, the boys and George have fallen behind in their schoolwork and require a tutor over the Christmas holidays. Mr Roland comes to stay at Kirrin cottage, and quickly befriends Uncle Quintin and seems to be snooping into his experiments and secret formulas! But only George has her suspicions, and coming up against someone the rest of the family likes so much proves difficult.I've always

The second installment of Blyton's twenty-one-book series devoted to the adventures of The Famous Five - siblings Julian, Dick and Anne, their cousin George (Georgina), and her dog Tim - Five Go Adventuring Again sees the return of the Five to Kirrin Cottage for the Christmas holidays. Horrified at the prospect of studying during their break, the children soon have more serious things to trouble them, when rebellious George gets into trouble with the tutor, and some important papers go missing
