seeking book title

My husband (born 1961 in Leeds) remembers reading a book, he's pretty sure by Blyton, that was about a group of children who find an abandoned house in the woods and fix it up.

Any ideas? Sorry this is so vague!

It's not Hollow Tree House by any chance? The children find a large tree and fix up a living space inside the trunk. Not a house, of course, but still a dwelling!

I think you will find that the book you are looking for is The Treasure Hunters originally published by Newnes and then republished by Collins. Check it out on our Book Listing http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/auth ... php?id=307 and see if either of the covers ring a bell.

Best wishes

"The Treasure Hunters" is definitely the book. When I read a summary of it, at http://www.enidblyton.net/others/the-tr ... nters.html, I saw a mention of "Mr. Pots-of-Money" and remembered that was the other clue my husband had given me.

Thanks so much! This will make an excellent Christmas gift.

The current incarnation of the Treasure Hunters is in the "Young Adventurers" series-that-never-was...

I think it is just called Young Adventurers and the Lost Treasure

The book mentioned by Viv has been re-written and updated, so it would be best to look out for an older copy.

It is now actually called The Young Adventurers and the Hidden Treasure.

No offence, Ming.

I was actually searching whether you had posted an intro thread, thats all - until I found out this.
