Famous Five Audiobooks - Jan Francis

Post by thomaspassmore »

Hi all
My 7 year old is addicted to the famous 5 audiobooks - he listens to them on his YOTO player.
They have a series of 8 audiobooks and he has listened to them multiple times. I want to get more but I can't seem to find them anywhere except Audible - and Audible doesnt work on Yoto
Does anyone know where I can get the Jan Francis audiobooks either on mp3 or on CD?
Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom. There are a few listed on eBay:

Not sure if Jan Francis is narrating, though.

These all seem to be the abridged versions. We're keen where possible to keep him entertained for as long as possible!

Does your local library use the BorrowBox app for audiobooks? Ours does and has all the Jan Francis -read FF books on there. Might be worth a look?

I’m currently listening to the audiobooks via the Borrow Box app. Annoyingly, my local library has all of them apart from Demon’s Rocks.

I’ve just listened to Five Fall Into Adventure and I’m unsure if part has been cut, or I’m confusing it with another book. When George was rescued from the tower, I’m sure I recall her mentioning the cistern and how it used to make “rude” noises. But this isn’t present in the audiobook. Was this in Fall Into Adventure or a different story?

I've done a quick search for "cistern" in the e-book and there was no match. Then I searched Plenty of Fun because those are the two that get easily confused - and that came back positive.

Thanks Hannah. Seems I must have confused the two books.
