It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Re: Big Blyton Bonanza!
Hi Courtenay,
Do you by any chance have 'Five on a Treasure Island' and 'Five Go Off in a Caravan' still available?

Re: Big Blyton Bonanza!
I'm afraid not, Lotta. I should have updated this thread, but it had been a long time since there were any responses and I assumed no-one else was interested. All the books I hadn't already sold went to an excellent local second hand bookshop a while ago. Sorry about that.

Re: Big Blyton Bonanza!
No problem. I realised it was a while ago! Thanks anyway.
