My favorite Famous Five book so far. One of my favorite cover too (Julian ftw!!!). This is why I insist to collect only this particular edition and not the others.
I love Timmy and his Elizabethan collar. I love the old house ruin setting, though I have trouble picturing from what era the house was from. I really like the underground rivers and caves and the old Roman camping ground. This particular story was just like all aspects of my adventurous childhood dreams rolled into one. I had a really good time reading and being nostalgic :)

The fun they had and the danger they faced wowed me as a kid. I wished and wished to have been born as their friend.
Famous Five taught me a bunch of things… For starters, always be ready for an adventure! They also taught me to not underestimate little girls. How many times has little Anne saved their lives? Also, I realized early on that there will always be someone trying to dictate your life, but it is important to be true to yourself no matter what.
Must read for kids.

When poor Timmy has a problem with his ear, George is furious with everyone for laughing at him in his cardboard collar, so she takes him off on a camping trip, where the others soon join her. As usual they get involved with some bad guys who are hunting for something hidden and the five and their friends go to hunt it down themselves.
This is the first Famous Five book I have felt fell flat with adventure, but I can't help but give it five stars for the nostalgia!
