When I was young and in primary school, I developed a love for reading but I was not fortunate enough to be able to afford books of my own. So like many others, I borrowed books from my class library and later on from the Carnegie Library. Some of the books I used to love to read were by Enid Blyton, and in particular, her series The Famous Five which were published between 1942-1963. I have to admit that I never got the opportunity to read all 21 books but the ones I did read, succeeded in capturing my imagination and had a vital role in cultivating my composition skills. These are the books in the series:
1. Five On a Treasure Island (1942)
2. Five Go Adventuring Again (1943)
3. Five Run Away Together (1944)
4. Five Go To Smuggler's Top (1945)
5. Five Go Off in a Caravan (1946)
6. Five On Kirrin Island Again (1947)
7. Five Go Off to Camp (1948)
8. Five Get Into Trouble (1949)
9. Five Fall Into Adventure (1950)
10. Five On a Hike Together (1951)
11. Five Have a Wonderful Time (1952)
12. Five Go Down to the Sea (1953)
13. Five Go to Mystery Moor (1954)
14. Five Have Plenty of Fun (1955)
15. Five On a Secret Trail (1956)
16. Five Go to Billycock Hill (1957)
17. Five Get Into a Fix (1958)

A great series of books. Have you read any of the Mystery series or Adventure series? They are amazing. In my opinion, her masterpiece was The Valley of Adventure.
