As the first set of 'grown-up' books I ever discovered I could read on my own, the Famous Five have a very special place in my heart.

I loved so much of Enid Blyton ... the Famous Five were my favourites of all, so much so that I demanded to be called George for most of my early childhood * East Anglian Daily Times *
