Re: Adventure Series, Quiz
Thank you, Fiona.
A nice easy question in return: how may books are there in the Adventure series and in what years were the first and last published?

Re: Adventure Series, Quiz
There are eight books in the series. The first, The Island of Adventure was published in 1944. The last book The River of Adventure was published in 1955.

Thanks, Eddie.
In The Island of Adventure Bill Smugs took the children into town in his car. Before meeting him at the hotel they went shopping. What did they buy?

They also bought film for Jack's camera, sweets, biscuits and a bottle of scent for Aunt Polly. As no-one else is rushing to answer, I'll say:
Over to you, Fiona.
