Happy Christmas, Five
Happy Christmas, Five | Enid Blyton
8 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
It is Christmas Eve, and the Famous Five are very excited about their mountain of presents - even Timmy! But when Timmy barks furiously he is sent outside, leaving a thief free to steal all the presents. Can Timmy still manage to save the day? 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'. Here, the complete text of 'Happy Christmas, Five' appears in an individual volume, illustrated in full colour.

Litsy doesn't seem to have this edition in the database - in addition to 'Happy Christmas, Five' (published 1956) it contains 'Five have a puzzling time' (published 1960) & 'When Timmy chased the cat' (published 1957) - I'm not completely sold on the illustrations by Jamie Littler (but I'm a purist, I can also complain at length about modern animation style 😖) which definitely help to make the text seem modern (without it actually being updated)

Uncle Quentin! I've never pictured you this way 🙈🙄😜

Mixed feelings about the illustrations. Probably more for the benefit of new Famous Five readers who might be put off by the fact that the books were (mostly) written in the 1940's and 1950's? And now we have an Uncle Quentin with stubble and a Hollywood smile... 🤔

tpixie Hmm 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, he looks shady... doesn't he? 8y

A book of Famous Five stories from the late, great Enid Blyton that I haven't had the pleasure of reading before? A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! And not only because I braved the Boxing Day crowds to buy it (and spinach for my quiche, made in my new-to-me vintage blue Pyrex pie dish)

Michelle_mck That looks delish! I did my Boxing Day shopping online 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Michelle_mck, I mostly went for the spinach (it's my contribution to a Boxing Day feast) but the bookstore just happens to be opposite the supermarket 🤔 8y
Michelle_mck It would have been rude to not go in 😉 8y

Centique The quiche looks divine! Yay for vintage cookware and Enid Blyton too 😍 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Centique ❤️ thank you! My Mum is a huge vintage Pyrex collector so I was pretty chuffed to be given one (especially since the pie dishes are hard to find) for Christmas. Have just finished the title story - very nostalgic! 8y
LeahBergen I LOVE the dish! 8y
Lauredhel Mmm, spinach quiche! 8y
