Absolutely correct Courtenay 👍. I loved that scene too, she was so fierce over Kirrin Island and even took time before taking her cousins over, much less having these unwanted people there. She took it all out on their boat's machinery😀.

Over to you.

Thanks, Anjalli.

In Five Go Off to Camp, what was Jock's surname and why did it differ from his mother's?

Having read that book recently I remember it was Jock Robins but his mother had re-married to Mr Andrews so was known as Mrs Andrews.

Thanks, Courtenay.

In ‘Five Go Off in a Caravan’ (although there were two caravans), what were the names of the two horses that pulled them?

Thank you John.

New question:

In the last book 'Together Again', there was 🎪 circus folks camping in the field not far from the five and Tinker whom they were staying with. What was the name of the enchanter/magician?

Thanks. :)

In what two FF books (unless there's others I can't remember!) do the children pretend to give Timmy's poisoned food to other animals instead?
