If you can get a hold of any of them, you should! <br /><br />Sadako - I totally remember Tinker and his monkey (I think I had one of their appearances in an oddly bright pink book) but the panther is new on me. I'll try and hunt it down for a recap! <br /><br />Booksploring - I never read this one either, I don't think. I saw one of the TV shows which featured this episode, though!HelenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10571778960293147441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2146707401195902301.post-84971429241227908742010-09-08T19:59:22.057+12:002010-09-08T19:59:22.057+12:00I too loved Enid Blyton books when i was growing u...I too loved Enid Blyton books when i was growing up! My mum grew up on them and passed them onto my siblings and I. We didn't know anyone else who read them!<br /><br />Totally agree with Sadako that EB was my Ann M. Martin before i discovered AAM!<br /><br />I'm currently rereading the St Claire's series.<br /><br />Great recap - so glad i found this blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2146707401195902301.post-10942779196004518312010-09-07T14:04:57.558+12:002010-09-07T14:04:57.558+12:00I LOVED the Famous Five books!

The only reason I read them was that my mom read them as a kid and she remembered them and bought me a bunch. This takes me back so damned hard.<br /><br />I remember this one in particular because it was only the second one in the series, and so the second one I ever read. Mine had a different type of cover, though.<br /><br />My favorite one was when they visit their friend Tinker who has a pet monkey, and in one book, a pet cheetah (or was it panther?) called Attila. And then Attila gets stolen and that's the whole book--finding Attila.<br /><br />Enid Blyton was like my Ann M. Martin before I discovered Ann M.
