About this audiobook

Meet Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timothy. Together they are THE FAMOUS FIVE - Enid Blyton's most popular adventure series.

Get ready for a Famous Five adventure with this audiobook of Enid Blyton's treasured classic, read by Mel Giedroyc.

'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?

I don't understand why it was narrated again in 2017 when the 2013 version narrated by Jane Francis was perfectly fine. The version I bought before 2017, doesn't show up in my series and can't be put in order with the others. Google tells me, I don't have this book and should buy it when I already have the much better version of 2013,since Jane Francis is a brilliant narrater. Google please fix this, don't show me this new version of the book. I already have it. Version 2013 now marked as special edition. I want my version appearing in order in my shelve and not this one I don't want. Fix this mess. My already owned Version is much better than this. I won't buy it again!
