Famous Five Books - a Quiz

[Bertie]

Thanks, Boatbuilder.

In what book are the farm dogs, Ben and Rikky, mentioned?

[Morgan Jones]

Is it Billycock Hill?

By the way, thanks for the link about telegrams, Anita. Very interesting and informative!

[Bertie]

No, it's not Billycock Hill, Morgan.

[Morgan Jones]

I was originally going to say Finniston Farm but that’s probably too obvious. But I don’t have a better answer at this stage!

[Bertie]

It's not Finniston Farm either.

[Anjalli]

Five go adventuring again.

[Bertie]

That's correct, Anjalli. Well done.

Yes, it was in the second book when they visit Kirrin Farmhouse and find the map behind the secret panel. The farm dogs get an early mention, saying they'll get along fine with Timmy.

Over to you.

[Anjalli]

Thank you Bertie.

That was a very exciting time when they found that map and how they went about getting it deciphered.

Okay new question:

Staying with "Adventuring Again" Mr. & Mrs Sanders was going to have company for the holidays. Who was coming to the farmhouse?

[Morgan Jones]

Two artists (or so the old couple believed).

[Anjalli]

Correct Morgan Jones, yes but they were actually acquaintances of Mr. Roland in his thieving plot.

Over to you.

[Morgan Jones]

Thanks Anjalli.

Only one of the men who tries to steal the gold ingots in Treasure Island is named. What was he called?

[Anjalli]

Jake.

[Morgan Jones]

He was called Jake! Well done, Anjalli!

Over to you…

[Anjalli]

Thank you Morgan Jones.

New question:

In the first book George disabled the thief's boat so they couldn't leave the island. How did she do that?

[Courtenay]

With an axe!! She hacked at the machinery until the motor boat was completely disabled. I always loved that scene.
