Five Go to Mystery Moor (The Famous Five #13)
Gypsies, mysterious mists, and camping on the moor!I absolutely adored Famous Five as a child. I trawled through secondhand stores and slowly acquired all of them. For some reason in my childhood, there were lots of British books and comics widely available and back then they were sold for the mighty sum of 10 cents. Seems funny now when some of the secondhand shops charge $7-10 per book! I still have all of them safely saved in storage for when Little Miss grows up.
I dont know how Enid Blyton managed to know just what children wanted to read about, even in this day and age the books hold a wonderful fascination to children. They read of the Famous Five who could go off and have fantastic exciting adventures and not have any interference from adults. These books are and always have been a real feel good read.
Yet another great famous five adventure. I must say this is book 13 and so far Julian, Dick and Annes parents have not showed up to be the main caregivers. I suppose with such distanced parents, having adventures would become rather commonplace.
I'm showing my age when I say read this book years ago and it was an earlier edition. I remember distinctly my teacher, cane behind his back to ensure a quiet classroom, opening his desk drawer and taking out the first book in this series. Not sure why he thought he needed a cane because when he started reading to the class you could have heard a pin drop.Thus began my love of reading and I went straight to the library to borrow the book. It was way to long to wait another week for the next
First time Im rereading The Famous Five series. Some series are as beautiful to read as adults as they were in childhood. This series does fall into that category. I like the story. But don't love it. The "twin" to George was a nice touch perhaps, but my favourite part was the patrins of the gypsies. Might just search about patrins and try making some.
Keeping up with the rereads given how much I've struggled to get reading done this month. Again, this isn't the cover I have, but it's not on the editions list. Besides, most of the others are in the illustrated reprints so it's fine. I like this paperback cover. :) Anyway, this one was ok and nice to have it set in a riding school partly. I've never learned to ride properly (something I've always wanted to change at some point) but I love horses regardless. Now I'm older, I can tell how much

Honesty, Bravery, Good wits, and intelligence-to be favorable for an adventure. I got that. The book awakens all the senses, for me. The author really knows how to express his fantasy. Ive just noticed that its always about money! Very unique thought for the author. The famous five always teaches us honesty and good principles and values one should uphold in life. Always split up to help each other incidentally. And rejoined. Presented With a scary personality in the book too.
