Only giving it give stars because I'm very attached to this book
Such happy memories of reading this in childhood. The willow house has stuck with me- I'd love to make one.
Heavenly memories. One of the childhood books that i can still read with enthusiasm and continue to love.
I've read some Enid Blyton in my childhood but never got the chance to read The Secret Island. Always wanted to but never did until now, when I'm almost twenty-one, in university, trying very much to do some adulting, failing.
The Secret Island is a tale of four children who run away from home to live on an island and boy oh boy do they live! These kids have better survival skills than Bear Grylls apparently.
I loved reading the story. It was light, fun and cute.

A thoroughly enjoyable escapist fare. It's almost like Robinson Crusoe but for kids and with kids. Three children, who are mistreated by their uncle and aunt, escape with another boy to live on a secret Island. The book is all about how they make the island their own and how they sustain over many months. There are no villains etc here. This is just a pure sustenance experience of four children on a deserted island. This is a lot of fun, many hilarious moments and soo many ingenious ideas. Makes me wish for my own secret Island!
Minns att jag älskade den här boken som 10-åring. Den hemliga ön var en fantastisk läsupplevelse för mig som barn - minns mycket av vad barnen gjorde för att överleva på ön. Mycket mysig!
Enid Blyton tries her hand at Swallows & Amazons, to resounding boredom. There was no conflict WHATSOEVER!
