The Famous Five - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know!

Post by Rob Houghton »

This is a great book, with lots of Eileen Soper illustrations (coloured versions) and everything you need to know about the Famous Five - rundowns of plots, locations, characters, animals, baddies, etc. Well worth having as a reference book about the Famous Five.

It was written by Norman Wright. Starting bid - £1.50 (postage extra) - ends tomorrow.

'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

I can't write the expression of surprise at seeing the ridiculous price this has risen to! people really do have more sense than money to take this up to £29.88! :shock: :shock: I'd say its worth £15 at most! :lol: So glad I already have a copy if people are likely to go mad over it like this! :roll:

If they look elsewhere other than Ebay, they could buy it for less than £10!
I stand with justice and the truth. Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.

Learn the history. Do research.

The hypocrisy, double standard, prejudice and bigotry own by some people is so obvious.Shame on them!

I'm positive I bought my copy for about £10 at a Enid Blyton Day, but I can't be 100% sure. It is a great book, but I wouldn't part with the amount they're asking for..nearly £30! :shock:

The last time I saw Norman Wright was a few years ago. He was walking in Durlston Country Park, near Swanage. I think he lives somewhere near the town. :D
