tobytoby's blog post - The Famous Five

I loved and still do love the original Enid Blyton Books featuring The Famous Five and others - not because dear Enid did a great literary job and changed the forces of mankind but because when young they took you on a thrilling adventure. Now though when you read them back they are incredibly funny - downright lewd if you've got the sort of sense of humour I have. See for yourself, read them, again for such outakes as:

'Oommph!', said the bears, 'and they Oommphed all over him'
'She squealed at the thought of a cow coming'
'Bessie laughed as a Chaffinch came on her hand'


Childish and silly I know and theres many many more where they came from!

I don't know if they have these books in the US... if so, it might make for a new hobby.
