This might be one of my favourite Enid Blyton books. It's sheer magic!
Jack, Philip, Dinah and Lucy-Ann (not to mention Kiki) are all set to go on a plane trip to their friend, secret agent Bill Cunningham's house for a few days. But a mix-up sees them boarding the wrong plane and falling headlong into another adventure - this time in a beautiful, abandoned, war-torn valley - involving a couple of escaped prisoners, a secret cave, a hostage, a daring rescue mission, a map and lost treasure!

I loved the Adventure and Famous Five series when I was a kid. The books had been passed down from my mom, who had also loved them. I was anticipating that re-reading this one as a 40-something would be a disappointing experience but it was totally the opposite. I got completely sucked in and read it through in one sitting. Obviously, the books are dated. They were written more than 60 years ago in a world vastly different from the one we live in now but I think they hold up for the most part. O...more
Enid Blyton is an amazing childrens author, bestselling in the world. Although almost undiscovered by Americans.
This series (The Adventure Series is 8 books long) Features 4 friends who fall into adventures with counterfeiters, gunrunners, treasure hunters and the like. Jack, Philip, Diana, and Lucy-Anne and their crazy talking parrot, KIKI, are a lot of fun to follow through their adventures... This series is top notch reading... introduce your children to Enid Blyton today!

I love this book so muchhh, and many more Enid Blyton's books. I love adventure stories. Enid Blyton is my mos fav author. I like all description about the valley, the caves, and especially the waterfall. reading this book, felt like I took part the adventure of Jack, Philip, Dinas, Lucy Ann and Kiki. I think, The Adventure Series give more challnges than Famous Five. :)
Oh my god, IT WAS SO EXCITING! *flails madly* Why did I not read this series when I was younger? Why did I not even know about it until Alex gave me the books? Oh well, more excitement for now I guess. ;) I'm reading through the whole lot and I have five left now, and four of those are new to me. :D
Whoops! Thought I'd reviewed this one a few days ago, obviously not. The Valley of adventure is one of the great books in the series, the adventure being fun and thrilling at the same time. Love this series, can't recommend them highly enough!
The first story book I read...
Nothing better than this. This thing changed me entirely.
A new point of view towards life...
Every minute details so well explained...
If you love nature you will love this...
Pop goes the weesel...

I read this when I was 9. And GAH, everything by Enid Blyton gets a 10-star for me. Erm, not quite possible here, but you get the drill.
I adore her to death. She's my author idol. Even now.

Oh how I've missed this series. I think this was my favourite series by Enid Blyton, and it is much more successful than the 'famous five'.
Nice and safe adventures with stupid, witless crooks, lots of food (there is always lots of food in Enid Blyton books!) and sleeping on "soft and springy moss".
Of course there is the somewhat annoying issue of the sexism in the books, which comes to light in the boys doing all the dangerous thingswhile the girls stay to "keep watch" on the cave, but it is sim...more

Quite by accident, the children are carried away by airplane to an isolated valley in central Europe. There they hide from the bad guys, find a hidden treasure, and find a way to contact the outside world just in time. This was my favorite of the series when I was a kid. The valley seemed almost idyllic to me.
And now I'm done with my four favorite books of this series. There are seven, plus Enid Blyton wrote hundreds of other books.

The 8 Adventure books by Enid Blyton are at least as good as her Famous Five series if not better. This is the best of all Blyton books. Four children and their parrot Kiki enter the wrong plane and end up in a deserted Austrian valley right after WW II...10 stars!
My absolutely favorite book when I was a child.
My absolutely favorite book when I was a child.
The children are flying to Europe with Bill, but mistakenly get into the wrong plane. They end up in a mysterious valley and have to hid from the two adults by living in a cave behind a waterfall. Eventually they find tunnels through the hills and a large treasure being cared for by an old couple.
I did enjoy this book, but I guess I just found it a bit too much like the others to give it a rating as high as some of the others. That said, it is a delightful book with the children getting up to all kinds of adventure.
Not one of the best, the storyline was a bit laboured. But Bethia really enjoyed it and is wanting The Sea of Adventure.
Another in the Blank of Adventure Series where they go treasure hunting, one of the better ones.
Petualangan menarik untuk anak-anak.
One of my favorite books as a child.

She taught for five years before her 1924 marriage to editor Hugh Pollock, with whom she had tw...more
