What was the title of the Famous Five adventure published in 1972?

Barney says: I'm not sure what you mean because Enid Blyton's last Famous Five book was published in 1963 (and she died in 1968), but perhaps this list will help clarify things.

I am a great fan of Enid Blyton, I love her books too. Hallo Barney, I am first in this site and I am having one question also, in which book is there a girl named Elizabeth Mary Wilhemina Sonning?

Barney says: Welcome, Candez Maria Tony! The book you're thinking of is Secret Seven Mystery.

I was looking at the websites of the Presidential Libraries for the people who were President when Enid was writing - Franklin D. Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower. Apart from Zerelda Brass, did she talk much about the USA in her books? You will be "happy" to know that it's now politically incorrect in some British and Commonwealth schools to say "American". We got told we have to say "USian" as "not everyone who lives in the continent of the Americas lives in the USA".

Barney says: Zerelda Brass (Third Year at Malory Towers) and Junior Henning and his father (Five on Finniston Farm) are negative American stereotypes (though Zerelda has a bit more to her), but Enid Blyton portrayed Americans and America more positively in The Boy Next Door and The Queen Elizabeth Family. You can read reviews of those titles in the Cave of Books. I hadn't heard of "USian" before, Victoria - at first glance it looks rather similar to "Asian" to me.

Can you tell me in detail about yourself?

Barney says: There's not much to tell really, Prateeksha! I'm a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who likes books, bones, biscuits, walks and exciting smells!

Hello, I would like to ask if you could possibly make a movie about The Naughtiest Girl in the School and all the other episodes. Thank you.

Barney says: The Society and website enable people to learn more about Blyton films and TV series (not to mention books etc. of course!), and to share information, but I'm afraid we don't actually make them.
