Publisher's Summary
Meet Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timothy. Together they are The Famous Five.
'There was something else out on the sea by the rocks - something dark that seemed to lurch out of the waves...What could it be?'
Julian, Dick and Anne are spending the holidays with their tomboy cousin George and her dog, Timothy. One day, George takes them to explore nearby Kirrin Island, with its rocky little coast and old ruined castle on the top.
Over on the island, they make a thrilling discovery, which leads them deep into the dungeons of Kirrin Castle on a dangerous adventure. Who - and what - will they find there?

review
What did you like most about Famous Five: 1?
I liked it the most when they found the gold.
Who was your favorite character and why?
George was my favourite character because she owned the island.
What does Jan Francis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I think if you get stuck on a word when you are reading the book you would have to sound it out but in an audio book they just say it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes I begged my mother so I could finish it because it was so exciting.
Any additional comments?
I think this is the best book I have ever heard (so far). I am about to listen to the next Famous Five.

Good Old Enid Blyton
Listening with the grandkids and they are loving it as much as I did 50 years ago.
My childhood hero, George is still just as inspiring as I remember.
I was curious whether it would seem intolerably sexist like the faraway tree stores do now but this seems to allow gender equality in the characters.
Mild criticism of the narater, that the little kids voices can be screechy and annoying.
