Disadvantages: none

I noticed some Enid Blyton books in one of the many charity shops we have in Haywards Heath town center,and started to read Her books although I am older now.
I used to read Her books in the library lesson in Senior School .
I am now enjoying Her books as much as I did then ,she is a superb writer .
the first one i read was:*Five go down to the sea*I couldnt have a holiday this year ,so I enjoyed sharing the description of the famous fives holiday.
The setting was in Cornwall on Tremannon Farm.
The farmers wife is a wonderful cook ,you can almost taste the food with Enids descripton .They started with high tea with salad new potatoes ,a huge ham home made salad cream ,with fruit cake to finish,with cherry tart,they had a difficult journey to get there so enjoyed this meal very much.
Dick, julian ,Anne ,George,(Georgina) shh dont let Her hear,she is a tomboy and prefers the boys name .Not forgetting Timmy their dog.
They are all set for an adventure as usual ,a strange light in a tower that is nearly a ruin,they find out more from a boy called Yan and His grandfather .
it involves ancient wreckers wont tell you to much.
The farm also have some rather strange visitors called the Barnies vey like circus folk ,there is never a dull moment in this
story ,with enids talent of making the reader feel almost as if they are participating, this is a very good book.

Summary: join the famous five in an adventure ,a well written story.
