Enid Blyton's Famous Five and Secret Seven, 'Five Go Down To The Sea' was the first proper book I read all the way through by myself. Every Christmas I was given a Famous Five book and become lost in the world of Julian, Dick ,George , Anne and Timmy the Dog. So many secret passages, naughty smugglers and night time escapades. This series of books comes highly recommended !

The Famous Five even made it in to this computer game on the ZX Spectrum from 1991
