The Famous Five Collection is notable for its engaging and fast-paced storytelling, which keeps readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. The series is also well-loved for its relatable and well-drawn characters. Each member of the Famous Five has their own unique personality and quirks, making them easy to relate to and root for as they take on their adventures.

One of the most appealing aspects of The Famous Five Collection is its sense of nostalgia. The series offers a glimpse into a simpler time, where children spent their summers exploring the great outdoors and solving mysteries. Blyton's descriptions of the natural world are vivid and detailed, creating a rich and immersive world for readers to explore.

The new illustrations by Jamie Littler and Becka Moor bring a fresh and modern perspective to The Famous Five Collection. The illustrations capture the spirit of the original stories while adding a contemporary twist. The characters are rendered in a colourful and dynamic style that is sure to appeal to young readers. Both Littler and Moor are celebrated illustrators and authors in their own right. Making them the perfect suitors to take on the challenge of revitalising Blyton’s classic stories. 




About the author: 

Enid Blyton (1897-1968) was a prolific and beloved British author of children's books. She is best known for her series, including The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, and The Magic Faraway Tree, which have sold millions of copies worldwide and have become timeless classics of children's literature. Despite some criticism over the years for lack of diversity in her work, Blyton's books continue to inspire and delight readers of all ages, and her legacy as one of the most influential and popular authors in the world of children's literature lives on.

Many authors have been inspired by and continue to be inspired by Blyton’s work, with one of the main points being her ability to encompass a wide range of genres, even in her short stories. These books are ideal for readers just getting to grips with reading independently and are slowly growing in confidence.
