Famous Five Colouring Book

Post by IceMaiden »

Has anyone seen this?

I'm guessing the images are enlarged versions of illustrations from some of the books, which once coloured in, could also be colour photocopied to make one of those showbooks out of :D .

The colouring book was mentioned briefly on this thread:

It looks like a fun product and I'd have loved a Famous Five colouring book (or any Enid Blyton-themed colouring book) as a child.

I guess you could say that I have seen it too as I stuck it in the Cave two or three weeks ago!

Moved from another topic.

My copy of the F.F colouring book has arrived. Nice to see the Soper illustrations and they're printed pencil illustrations too. Very pleased. I just have to set a bit of time aside now and try and paint them! :lol:

Well done, Julie! :D

I plan to buy the book later when the price becomes cheaper on Ebay.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
