Lost In Fishponds - Famous Five (The)

Advantages: An enjoyable read
Disadvantages: none

...'What a jolly nice day, isn't it Timmy? Anyone for some ginger beer!?' The Famous Five are books to grow up with, and books to grow old with. I don't think there was any book more influencial in my childhood, fuelling my desire for adventure and mystery (which, by the way, I never found, but I did get a good spy kit from woolworths). Throughout the series you follow George, a little girl who hates being a little girl, her dog Timmy and her cousins Julian, Dick, and Anne on their many adventures and picnics. A series full of smugglers, orangeade, hidden passages, famers, delicious food, supicious looking characters, sliding panels, trips to the beach, hiking, and camping, these are truly enjoyable stories that will be loved by children forever....

And THAT's only those from the 1960s! Whereas Manchester had Freddie... Read review

...cottage to the annexe at the back, and take the one there with the hole in it. Click on the bucket and cork inside the rucksack, and they will combine. Go to the farmhouse and fill up from the tap near the door. Then on to the Old Inn. Dampen down the embers of the log pile fire (that has mostly been put out by the girls) with the bucket of water. Having done that, only then will the bodyguard appear again and ask for the permit. Give it to him. Answer and ask several questions. Eddy is said to be missing now. Need an item of eddies to give to Timmy (the Famous Five dog) and allow him the track eddy down. ****************** Go to farmhouse, Mrs Miller gives George a red jumper and Ann drops it on the floor once Timmy is clicked on, and off we go. To the Pasture, lower left from the farmhouse... Read review
