Famous-Five Enid Blyton Complete Collection 21 Books Box Bundle Set Paperback – January 1, 2016

Got this as a gift for friend tween age kids and they gobbled it up. All excited to read the stories that I enjoyed so much as a kid. Excellent stuff!

Bought as a birthday present. Packaging was great, delivered on time, and books were perfect. Daughter enjoys reading the Famous Fives adventures!

Very good thank you 😊

Famous Five books are always enjoyable. I don't even need to write much about it. This collection is of good quality. My pre-teen daughters are enjoying the books. Even I read the books and enjoy the stories. Excellent purchase!

I grew up in Australia and New Zealand watching the British Famous Five series on tv. These books come in a box and are great stories to read to my 9 and 11 year old boys each night at bed time. They are very easy to read and generally have the same theme of some really bad guys out to steal something from a very good person, with four kids and their dog, Timmy, stopping the bad guys and saving the day. The kids get to go off on the most ridiculous trips without any parental supervision, which is probably why my kids love these stories so much. They always want me to read "just one more chapter" to them! I often see the boys quietly reading these books the next morning because they just can't wait until the next bedtime to find out what happened :-). Note that some of the characters are somewhat gender and class profiled (these books were first published in 1947), which is irritating but George, who is actually Georgina, is a strong willed tom boy who I think my boys very much admire and respect. It's also great for the boys to hear English words that are not so often used these days.

I loved Enid Blyton as a child. I was thrilled to get the complete “Famous Five” set and have been recording them on an app and sending them to my grandchildren to listen to me read books out loud. They love them too. Some things have changed - attitudes about gender roles - but the stories have stood the test of time. Who doesn’t like an adventure with hidden passages?

Some of my favorite childhood books brought together in a box set. Loving revisiting the Famous Five and their adventures.

This is a gift, and it’s also expensive. When it arrived, the Amazon box was in good shape, but the actual books were in a battered display box wrapped in torn plastic. It’s for my son, so it’s not the end of the world, but it’s disappointing.
