Nice Easy Reading for that Nostalgia.
With the price at something like 80% off I decided to move this from its long stay on my saved list to my basket.I loved reading (and watching) the Famous Five series when I was a kid. Reading them now is very nostalgic to me.The description says that it is “classic text”, and this is true in that the Woke Brigade have not got their hands on it. Two characters (an Aunt and a member of the gang) keep their names, whereas in Enid Blyton’s The Magic Faraway tree the delicate flowers from that cult have changed similar names so as not to “offend”. The only changes to the text I have noticed is simply converting the money mentioned from pre-decimalisation to post-decimalisation. That’s no big deal.As for the physical product itself. All 21 Famous a five novels in one stiff cardboard case, all arrived in good condition.Recommend for all Enid Blyton/Famous Five fans.

A trip back to childhood
I read all of the Famous Five books as a kid (my mum had kept a complete set of original hardbacks from her own childhood) and I remember the 80’s TV series well.Whilst I completely understand why new editions of Blyton’s stories are being edited to reflect modern language and culture, I am so glad that I took the opportunity to buy this set before the original versions became obsolete. It has been a joy to re-read them as they were, as funny and outdated as they may seem to others. A complete trip back in time.
