The Famous Five adventures...

[frenchnoodle]

My 5 year old has been bringing these home from the school library, they are very short stories.

I can't work out if they are original Blyton works or not. At first I thought they were the original novels simplified and streamlined for very young readers, but I recognise none of the titles OR THE PLOTS.

His current one is Five and the half term adventure. Does anyone know what they are?

First published in 1956

In addition to the Famous Five novels, Enid Blyton wrote a clutch of short stories based on the characters. These were published in magazines and collected in the Famous Five Short Story Collection(Hodder). For the first time, the complete text of Five and a Half-Term Adventure (1956) appears in an individual volume, illustrated with lively contemporary colour art by Jamie Littler.

Thank you, that makes sense and explains why I'd never read these short stories previously.
