The Valley of Adventure & The Sea of Adventure: Two Great Adventures
Two superb books in one from Enid Blyton's best-selling adventure series. Nothing could be more exciting than a night flight on Bill's plane. But in The Valley of Adventure, Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann, Jack, and Kiki the parrot fly straight into terrible danger. In The Sea of Adventure, the children find themselves marooned on a desolate coast, playing a dangerous game of hide-and-seek with an unknown enemy.

Enid Mary Blyton (1897–1968) was an English author of children's books.
Born in South London, Blyton was the eldest of three children, and showed an early interest in music and reading. She was educated at St. Christopher's School, Beckenham, and - having decided not to pursue her music - at Ipswich High School, where she trained as a kindergarten teacher. She taught for five years before her 1924 marriage to editor Hugh Pollock, with whom she had two daughters. This marriage ended in divorce, and Blyton remarried in 1943, to surgeon Kenneth Fraser Darrell Waters. She died in 1968, one year after her second husband.
Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's.
According to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare.

They are such two great books, you know, stuck in the mountains, always having exciting adventures, great characters, what else is needed for a great book. I loved these books a lot and I got them as a prize for a competition that I won and when I read the previous books in the series and read these I had been reading it day and night. Pls read these books👍🏻👍🏻

This took me back to being a child. You can't beat books written by Enid Blyton. She is one of the true great child authors.

Having read The Island of Adventure and the Castle of Adventure (both excellent!), my six year old couldn't wait to get started on these two books.
With the children stranded in amongst the mountains, exploring caves and climbing trees (my boys favourite parts), taking care of each other and rescuing an old man, my boys were gripped from start to finish.
Kiki's antics yet again made my boys burst into fits of giggles, the most wonderful sound at the end of the day.
The sea of adventure provided me the opportunity to showcase more voices and bird noises (much to the surprise of our little puppy who looked at me with astonishment and then proceeded to bark every time I imitated a puffin!)
The beauty of these books is the way in which the children all take care of one another, overcome challenges and show the readers how to be resourceful.
I have always said that a children's home library is not complete without Shirley Hughes or an Enid Blyton collection, and now we have just two more in the Adventure series to read, before we embark on the Mysteries collection, and of course complete our Famous Five collection.

I first read this series back in the mid 50's; bought them a few years ago for my older 2 grand kids, and of course read them again before giving (lending)them to the kids. I now have them in store for the rest as they get old enough to read them. I was pleasantly amazed to find them still in print!
