Oh, the Five Find-Outers series...hahaha...so long liao. I read those in my teens and the Malory Towers (boarding school) series....altho' I might have to blame Ms Blyton somewhat for being partly responsible for my myopia.Originally posted by laurence82:And its my wish to have a complete set of Enid Blytons books, like The Famous Five, the Five FInd-Outers and Secret Seven

The best holiday reads are light & entertaining like:
- Magazines. Fashion , travel, etc your preference
- Gossip magazines
- Chick lit by authors like Sophie Kinsella -
Yes, Enid Blyton's books can be addictive for a kid who has suddenly discovered them. It opens a new different world from what we have, and the kids in the books get to roam about freely and do whatever they want without adult interference....what a childhood.Originally posted by a_splash:i have all my collections (from primary school days, tho one or two belongs to my brother ) still with me, all in good condition other than turning yellowish/brownish....and Amanda, that big notty doll, and enid's other series which are for the younger children...
