If the Award versions of the Secret books are available in New Zealand, I will be going after them as they look splendid, and I'm not sure I've actually got any of them (except maybe The Secret of Cliff Castle)!
Best Regards

Cliff Castle is a one-off novel, Rowan, not part of the Secret series. Enid Blyton's five Secret titles can be seen in the Cave:

I can see where the confusion lies as I have just been looking at the website of a Spanish publisher who publish the Famous Five, the Secret Seven and the Secret Series. They have six books in the Secret Series as Cliff Castle is included. I wonder if they had to rewrite it to fit the rest of the series! :roll:

Sorry about the Cliff Castle error earlier. :oops: I was getting it mixed up with The Secret of Moon Castle. They are very similar titles. I do have The Secret of Cliff Castle (part of an Armada two-in-one; the other book was Smuggler Ben, I think), but not The Secret of Moon Castle. But I might try and get the Secret books with the Val Biro covers, as they make a very nice set.
