For me it was the Famous Five and the St. Clare's series (in their German incarnations, "Fünf Freunde" and "Hanni und Nanni," respectively).My youngest sister loved the Famous Five particularly as well -- so much so that she named her (black and white, Husky/Pomeranian/various undefined species) pet dog Timmy!
I used to like the Famous Five but looking back it seems a bit kiddish!Anyway St.Clare's series are also nice but very similar to Malory Towers!
Famous Five for me, with the added joy of reading the hardback original Hodder and Stoughton editions that my uncle lent me (sans dustwrapper) when I was a young lad - happy days.I also recall reading Mr Twiddle too...
I just loved Enid Blyton's books as a child!
Only ones I think they had here in the states when I was growing up were the Famous Five - and they were hard to find.
famous five series is the best ever..........still reading it over and over again until now...
It was Enid Blyton who first got me interested in reading when I was little. I especially loved the Faraway Tree stories :)
i love all her school stories! they make em want to live through them-especially malory towers and st clare
I like the famous five , the naughtist GIRL, the secret seven and malory towers!!!!!!:-)
I like the famous five , the naughtist GIRL, the secret seven and malory towers!!!!!!:-)
I like the adventure series,the famous five,the secret seven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Famous Five.. I read all books over and over again in my childhood... :)
Love the entire lot from Enid Blyton, but what really had me salvating were the Faraway, Wishing Chair, Famous Five, Naughtiest Girl and Mr. Pink Whistle series! Why don't we have writers like her any more!!??
famous five for me, i have every one and still as an adult i still love reading them, also all the adventure books,circus of adventure, mountain of adventure,, ect
Hi Friends,I am Laiba. Actually I am just 11 years old as a high school's student. I just love to read. Books are my heart they are my BFF. Especially Enid Blyton's books.
I have red lots of books of it. They are written in very
easy words and they are full of fantasy and fun.
My school's library have lots of editions of it. I have red all. That's fun.
Can anyone help?I have been trying to find a book, books, that I thought were written by Enid Blyton and I read as a child. But online searches are not helping.
They were about a family called the Buckinghams, and at least the first one was called (I think), 'The Buckinghams of Buckinghamshire.'
I think the mother had a 'friend' - possibly called Uncle Bill [although I may be getting mixed up with Uncle Bill (?) in the Five 'Adventure' series].

Do you mean the books by Malcolm Saville? :)
I removed A Complete Guied to Acupressure, Romeo and Juliet, The Cuckoo's Calling, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Gone Girl. None of these books were written by Enid Blyton or are in any way connected to her. They're not even aimed at the same readership!
Five on a Treasure Island?? I think there is a confusion here between the best and the most widely read! None of the famous five books are anywhere near the best. And amongst the ff it'll be "five fall into adventure" or "five go on a hike together" that are the best ones.The best Blyton for older children is "the secret island". For younger children "the magic wishing chair again".
Listopias, especially if they acquire many voters (as this one has), tend to mostly measure popularity. It's the nature of the beast.

I have fond memories of the Famous Five books, but I read them so long ago that they're plots merge into one. I voted for "Five Goes to Smuggler's Top" as it's the only plot I have any clear memories of, and even that is rather blurred at this distance.

I have read the famous five as an adult, and Five fall into adventure (num 9) I found the best. "Five Goes to Smuggler's Top" (num 4) I found the 7th best.
But the famous five series were nowhere near the best Blyton books. Maybe something like:
The magic wishing chair again
The secret island
House at the corner
The family at red roofs
