A Timeless Adventure

Five Go Off In A Caravan by Enid Blyton is an exciting children’s adventure. It is the fifth book in the Famous Five series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Written in 1946, the book has withstood the test of time, and is sure to entertain another generation of children. There are elements that ‘age’ the tale but some of them just add to the charm and nostalgia.

It was a quieter time. Children had the freedom to roam.

This time the famous five meet up with a travelling circus. They become friends with, and aid, a young boy and his ape.

The brave children are once more pitted against the villains.

I am thoroughly enjoying this Famous Five series just as much now as fifty years ago when I first read them as a child. The tales will delight seasoned and new audiences.
