Guess the book from the Eileen Soper illustration.
I will post random illustrations from the Five books by Eileen Soper.
Can you name the book the illustration appeared in?

Here's the first pic:

Five Get Into Trouble

Good old Timmy! But the five were in incredible danger in this adventure - those crooks could have got really nasty and disposed of the lot of them.

When you say sneakier, Pete, do you mean it's not from one of the 21 books? I was thinking maybe Smugglers Top.

Sneakier in that it's from one of the illustrations from one of the fortnightly magazines.

You've eliminated Smuggler's Top Julie - this pic is from a later story..

Ok, well I'll go for Get in a Fix when they're opening the outside box looking for Aily.

I guess that could be Ragamuffin Jo, but I don't remember Julian catching her climbing up the ivy, in Fall into Adventure.

Could it be sea?

I feel guilty I keep answering this post, but I find it intriguing. :lol: :lol:

I'd guess Billycock Hill for this one.
