Not as good characters as Twins at St Clares but the story is more fun.

LOL, i know some of you might laugh at me for reading these series when i have two other series pending, but they came into my mind recently, & these also remind of happy childhood memories, so onto reading them.

I love these series <3

First & 2nd already are done :D :P

Re-read this purely for the nostalgia. If only secondary school was as 'jolly good fun' as Malory Towers! Friendship is a main theme that runs through and it's full of warmth, cheeky mischief and adventure. It's worth noting that some words/sentences are dated but I guess that is expected for a book written in 1946. Am now tempted to re-read the whole series...

I listened to the first third when I was obsessing over childhood — no longer obsessing over childhood

Membaca karya Enid Blyton selalu membawa kesenangan tersendiri buat saya, sekaligus mengenang kembali masa kecil.

Walau begitu, saya mulai menemukan beberapa kejanggalan dan hal klise yang sedikit mengganggu. Tapi tetap saja, buku ini menyenangkan untuk dibaca.

Saya sudah punya boxed set untuk seri ini, dalam bahasa Inggris. Mungkin saya harus mencoba mulai membacanya dalam bahasa aslinya. Hmm..

I realized as I was rereading them that these books are to the Chalet School stories as Nancy Drew (the rewritten versions) are to Trixie Belden, steaming from plot point to plot point rather than taking the time for reflection and characterization. Both the Chalet School books and the Trixie Belden books feel more real to me.
