Five on a Treasure Island: Full Colour Edition

Enid Blyton is one of the world’s best-loved storytellers. Her books have sold over 500 million copies and have been translated into more languages more often than any other children’s author.
She wrote over 700 books and 2,000 short stories, including favourites such as The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Magic Faraway Tree and Malory Towers. Born in London in 1897, Enid lived much of her life in Buckinghamshire and adored dogs, gardening and the countryside. She died in 1968 but remains one of the world’s best-loved storytellers.

Babette Cole is filled with zest for life: she lives in Lincolnshire but travels extensively, to exotic parts of the world but also round this country, visiting schools and meeting children. She is a great animal lover and keeps chickens, sheep, horses, dogs and cats which all find their way into her books.
