About this copy
The second adventure of Julian, Dick, George, Anne and Timmy the Dog, and one of the books that started a whole generation of readers on the Famous Five. Blyton's lively storytelling, the secret passages, the picnics and the sense of adventure have kept these books loved for generations, and Eileen Soper's black and white illustrations give the story its classic look. This copy is a handsome hardback in red cloth boards, complete with its original dust jacket bearing the printed price of 7s 6d net.
The 1963 thirteenth impression is a lovely example of the series in its classic jacket.
