Entertaining

In The Fifth At Malory Towers by Enid Blyton continues the daily life of the girls at Malory Towers. The original cast of characters are joined by younger sisters as we follow them through the autumn term.

There are lacrosse matches, pantomimes, and tricks to be played by a most surprising source.

As the term progresses, we see loyalties tested and characters examined.

I am enjoying this Malory Towers series just as much as when I first read it fifty years ago. The appeal is timeless as old and new alike rediscover or visit for the first time.
