Can anyone out there verify this.When I was about 7 or 8 I was given a large book containing an Enid Blyton
Adventure Story rather similar to Secret Seven Adventure as I recall.My vague recollection is that the stolen item
was an extremely valuable orchid.Naturally the children concerned solved the mystery and I seem to recall that
the lions in the visiting circus had something to do with it.Any information about this story?

Re: Enid Blyton Short Story
Personally I don't really know which story this is, though I'm sure someone will help you out. However, we have different categories on the forums where you can create topics. We can find threads more easily if they are specifically categorised. I rather think this thread should have been made in the Book/Story Search section, as then it will be easier to find this thread and help you out.

Welcome to the forums, Rajah!
Anita or Tony (the moderators) will be able to move this thread to the "Book/Story Search" forum when they have a moment. I don't know the story either, but I'm sure someone will be able to help you — we have some fans here with an absolutely encyclopaedic knowledge of Blyton!

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)

Re: Enid Blyton Short Story
Would you believe my query was answered by the current volume of the journal(No 59) The short story was titled "An Unexpected Adventure" written in 1948 by Enid Blyton for The Childrens Wonder Book in Colour--Number 2 I am certain that it provided Enid with the inspiration for Secret Seven Adventure.Journal No 59 reprinted the story in full.
