Famous Five Colour Short Stories: A Lazy Afternoon
Enid Blyton, Jamie Littler
Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy the dog find excitement and adventure wherever they go in Enid Blyton’s most popular series.
It’s so terribly hot, the Famous Five are having a lazy afternoon… but the gang don’t get the peace and quiet they imagined!
What are the men on the motorbikes up to? Can they be stopped?
In addition to the Famous Five novels, Enid Blyton wrote a clutch of short stories based on the characters. These were published in magazines and collected in the Famous Five Short Story Collection (Hodder). For the first time, the complete and original text of A Lazy Afternoon (1956) appears in an individual volume, illustrated with brand new colour art by Jamie Littler.

This was a fiction book and a shorter version of the actual famous five. I like all the character from the famous five especially Timmy the dog. I would recommend this book to adventure readers.

I recently picked up the Famous Five Colour Short Stories: A Lazy Afternoon and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised! As a fan of Enid Blyton's original Famous Five series, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from these shorter stories, but they did not disappoint. In A Lazy Afternoon, we follow Julian, Dick, Anne, George, and Timmy as they embark on a seemingly ordinary afternoon adventure that quickly turns into something much more exciting. The plot is engaging and fast-paced, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout. One thing I particularly enjoyed about this book was the addition of color illustrations. They really brought the story to life and added an extra layer of enjoyment to the reading experience. The illustrations were beautifully done and really captured the essence of the characters and the story. Overall, I would highly recommend Famous Five Colour Short Stories: A Lazy Afternoon to any fans of the original series or anyone looking for a fun, quick read. It's the perfect book to curl up with on a lazy afternoon - just be prepared to get swept up in the adventure!
