Customer Reviews

This started it all!
Must be going back at least 18 years to when I saw this book in the local library and thought I'd give it a go. I wasn't a reader at all in those days (the books I borrowed were mostly reference) but the cover looked so exciting. Anyhow, started it, read it in one night and couldn't get enough of Blyton afterwards. The start of a wonderful journey for me and a book I really owe my love of reading to.

One of the most memorable books of my childhood`
This book, as well as Enid Blyton's other "_____ of Adventure" books (Ship, River, Sea, Island, Castle, Circus, etc) were all books that I must have read at least a thousand times each when I was a child. The daunting implausability of the escapades of the four adventurers from boarding school with their unpredictable, train-whistling parrot Kiki never failed to pique my imagination, no matter how many times I read them.

The battered copies of these books that survived my childhood I now encourage my own children to read, which they devour with the same relish that I did. These books are treasures, and I wish that there could be multitudes of them.

My second favourite of the Adventure series - Valley is best
I have read all but 2 of the Adventure series and love them loads. I'm 8 and will read it again and again.
