Childhood memories!

I realived the thrill of the Famous Five's adventure with my children. It was lovely.

Such a classic

Loved it all, definite recommend. Can also find every audiobook from the series on YouTube 🤫

Great book. Highly recommend. 15 word rec is stupid. Please revise the rules or no one will leave a review. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Awesome.

So lekker

Such a lekker story. The whole family loved it on the long road to the Karoo. Will be looking out for the rest..

YO YO JOE!!!!!!!!!!

This story was a really good start to an amazing series!

It’s a pity the five won’t see Dobby again.:(

A lovely family story

The narrator does a splendid job with the characters by giving each a unique voice.

Although some of the children’s antics are quite old fashioned it is understandable given this book was written in 1942. It can offer great opportunities for discussion should one wish to engage this way

Gorgeous stories

I have always loved the Famous Five series. Safe, fun, action (and food) filled adventures for kids! Jan Francis is an excellent narrator, not only giving each character a distinct voice, but acting and performing throughout. Highly recommended.

Great story

My children looked forward to listening to this story every day. They loved the adventurous plot.

Great adventure and splendid performance!

Thumbs up to a great adventure. The children are lovely and the story has a great twist. Could do without some of the boy vs girl issues but overall great.

Not Just for Kids

This is a great story to get acquainted with the Famous Five series.
Insightful characterisations, believable storyline, skilfully performed by Jan Francis.
Don't be put off by the one voice doing all of the characters. More professional
and enjoyable to listen to than the use of various child voices used in the dramatisations.
May take a few minutes to get used to the voices, but once you do, you're on your way.
