Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton
5.0

My childhood would have lacked a lot of mystery and joy if I hadn't read all of Enid Blython's books available in Hebrew. I am not sure which is Famous five and which is Five Detctives and a Dog-I first read one series, and then I felt it was too childish so I moved on to the books with the dog.
I remember only a little: how the fat boy used to put on costumes and at least once filled his mouth with cotton (Did Brando imitate him in the Godfather, or was it a mere coincidence?), the long tunnels under a castle, a swamp that got into my dreams.
I'm sure my parents silently thanked Enid Blython for every hours I spent reading and not running on the street.
