Suppose not when you put it like that, except that I managed to get every one of the 21 Famous Five books in the centenary edition hard-back versions (when they were new our local co-op sold them at vastly reduced prices (original price £9.99 each!) for £1.99 each, which was still well under £49.00! :lol:

By the way, Amazon are selling the 10 Famous Five slipcase boxsets at £11.95 each. 8)

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'
