Du neuf pour les Cinq (1978; English title: The Famous Five and the Strange Legacy, English number: 11) Euro Comics in English: The Famous Five by Rosenzweig and Dufosse". Eurocomics.info. 28 June 2008 . Retrieved 3 October 2013.

The Famous Five’s adventures often begin with the children arriving in the countryside by train, home from boarding school for the summer. You can start your Dorset adventure the same way, by taking a 22-minute steam train from Swanage to Corfe Castle.The treatment of girls in the books provides a contrast, with Anne, the youngest and most fragile character, a contrast to the brash and headstrong George. Bert Fegg's Nasty Book for Boys and Girls features "The Famous Five Go Pillaging", – a short story which parodies the writing style of Enid Blyton; five children witness the collapse of Roman imperialism and their friends and family are slaughtered by 9000 invading Vikings.

Blyton's publisher, Hodder & Stoughton, first used the term "The Famous Five" in 1951, after nine books in the series had been published. Before this, the series was referred to as The 'Fives' Books. [2] Characters The Five The second series, written by Mary Danby, was entitled "The Famous Five and You". [16] These consisted of abridged versions of the original text, with additional text for the alternative story routes. The books in this series were based on the first six original Famous Five books: In some books the children go camping in the countryside, on a hike or holiday together elsewhere. However, the settings are almost always rural and enable the children to discover the simple joys of cottages, islands, the English and Welsh countryside and sea shores, as well as an outdoor life of picnics, bicycle trips and swimming.

Whispering Island - another mysterious place, with a million stories surrounding it . . . Is it haunted? The Five are intrigued, but scared, too. Are they brave enough to go there and find out . . .

Tinker appears in two books. He has a habit of imitating cars (which drives his father mad) and has a pet monkey called Mischief. His father is also a scientist who is Uncle Quentin's friend.

The Famous Five are having great fun camping out near the home of a famous scientist. But they might have known there'd be a mystery to solve. There are also books written originally in French by Claude Voilier (the Five have long been extremely popular in translation - by Voilier - in the French-speaking parts of Europe) and later translated into English. The Voilier titles are:

Joanna/Joan is the housekeeper at George's house. She is an extremely kind woman who is often present at Kirrin Cottage when Uncle Quentin and Aunt Fanny go off somewhere. All the four cousins are extremely attached to her. Joanna contracts scarlet fever in the last book. She is sometimes referred to as Joan in Blyton's Famous Five short stories like Five Have a Puzzling Time and other stories. George is not pleased when Berta, a spoilt American girl, turns up at Kirrin Cottage in the middle of the night - dressed in disguise! But George hasn't got time to be jealous. A caravan holiday for the Famous Five is bound to be an adventure! And when they stumble across a circus troupe, the gang are thrilled.
