Book Description
The Famous Five – Julian, Dick, George, Anne and Timmy – have been delighting readers for over 70 years.
It’s so terribly hot, the Five are having a lazy afternoon . . . but the gang don’t get the peace and quiet they imagined! What are the men on the motorbikes up to? Can they be stopped?
In addition to the 21 novels in the Famous Five series, Enid Blyton wrote a clutch of short stories based on the characters. These were published in magazines and were collected in the Famous Five Short Story Collection (Hodder). For the first time, the complete text of A Lazy Afternoon appears in an individual volume, illustrated in full colour.
Book Description
Original Blyton stories are paired with brand new colour illustrations by Jamie Littler in a new and exciting format.
