These were collected in the Famous Five Short Story Collection. However, this short book cleverly takes one of the stories and splits it into 8 short chapters, rather like the Horrid Henry chapter books for younger readers. At only 55 pages, this makes a great introduction to the Famous Five for children moving on to first chapter books, who might find one of the longer novels too daunting.The text is as Enid Blyton wrote it, making the modern illustrations a little jarring for those more used to the originals. However, my seven year old daughter loved the colour pictures . I would have preferred a more retro feel, but perhaps this will help introduce these great books to new readers, which has to be a good thing.It is November half term and the children are staying at Kirrin Cottage for a short holiday. As it is too cold for bathing, they decide on a long walk and some blackberry picking. When it gets dark, they decide to take the train back to Kirrin. On the way home, Timmy is drawn to the strange behaviour of a couple on the train and the adventure begins...Although Enid Blyton has fallen out of favour lately, her books turned generations of children into readers and this is a great introduction to her work. This is a good read for children ready to move on to chapter books, with a small amount of text on each page, short chapters, lots of illustrations and a good story. Plus, there is lots of bold and enlarged text to help children read with emphasis and expression. If you press on the kindle edition, it will enlarge the print of each paragraph, which is a useful feature for beginner readers. The end of the book has a list of all the Famous Five novels for your child to read on and enjoy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant for next stage reading *by R***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2014* My son is 6 years old and I wanted something to read that moved on from picture books and these are fab. He has really enjoyed the story. Still enough pictures to keep him interested and we can read it as a chapter book over a few nights. we have bought the next one 'George's hair is too long' (also a hit), and I am waiting for the rest to be available. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good Condition *by M***Z on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 July 2021* Book was in very good condition & it was received promptly. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/54694873-famous-five-colour-short-stories-five-and-a-half-term](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/54694873-famous-five-colour-short-stories-five-and-a-half-term) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
