Re: Spanish Famous Five Covers.
I have put your covers in for the first three books, Oscar, and I like the look of them so I will add some more. I will keep putting the date as 1964, but you must tell me if there is a change of illustrator, publisher or date.

Re: Spanish Famous Five Covers.
They are some of the nicest famous Five covers, i think, outside of the Eileen Soper editions, of course. i love the colours and the children are 'modern' (to the times the books were published) but old fashioned enough to be 'ageless'.

Re: Spanish Famous Five Covers.
Yes they are definitely very nice covers. On the cover of Five go off to Camp George actually looks very nice in a skirt. I dont imagine the real George would have been quite so smiley while being forced to wear one though.

Re: Spanish Famous Five Covers.
Seeing that the pictures of the covers are broken links, I will repost them, using the ones from the Cave of Books when available and finding the others.
They are the work of José Correas, and they are a classic part of the childhood of many children in Spain, including mine. (Not any more, though. The Famous Five books are in print but with different covers).
Five on a Treasure Island
Five Go Adventuring Again
Five Run Away Together
Five Go to Smuggler's Top
Five Go Off in a Caravan
Five on Kirrin Island Again
Five Go Off to Camp
Five Get Into Trouble
Five Fall Into Adventure
Five on a Hike Together
Five Have a Wonderful Time
Five Go Down to the Sea
Five Go to Mystery Moor
Five Have Plenty of Fun
Five on a Secret Trail
Five Go to Billycock Hill
Five Get Into a Fix
Five on Finniston Farm
Five Go to Demon's Rocks
Five Have a Mystery to Solve
Five Are Together Again
And the back cover of those books looks like this:

Re: Spanish Famous Five Covers.
Superb db105 - thank you!
May I ask if there are internal illustrations and who does them?
Sorry if that's already been mentioned.
(Edited as I am an idiot!)

Well, Oscar was the one who originally posted these. I'm just reposting them.
There are internal illustrations, yes, by the same author, I think...

Re: Spanish Famous Five Covers.
Many thanks db105 - not for the first time I got my wires crossed!
Many thanks too for all those wonderful internals - they certainly give Betty Maxey a run for her money.
I really like them.
Regards
Pete

Re: Spanish Famous Five Covers.
Yes, I also rather like José Correas' work. And for me those older books will always be "my" version. The modern covers by Marina Vidal Martínez (I have posted all of them above) do have the advantage that they are more closely related to the contents of the book.
