Who is your favourite member of the Famous Five and why?

At least Anne will have one vote! I've always liked her - she seems to be well-balanced, sensible, kind, George even seems as if she might be quite dependent on her at school. And I must admit I'd have loved open air cooking and playing house in a caravan much better than being stuck in an underground tunnel. I love how Julian seems to think he's in control of Anne, but she actually is just doing what she enjoys!

I'm going for Dick - I think he was a bit overlooked except for when he was mistaken for Richard Kent. He was really the only one to be nice to Jo in the beginning too.

George - no contest. She really is an amazing character - a lot of ups and downs. True, she has her faults, but the positive side to her personality always stands out.

I'm voting for George because she's so interesting to read about.

George for me too. They are all interesting in their own ways but George is such a mass of contradictions that she makes for the most entertaining reading. She is also a very well developeed character which reflects the fact that she was reputedly Enid Blyton's own favourite.

Julian for me. I had such a crush on him when I was about 9.

sorry - it has to be George. She's based on Enid, and this shows, because she is one of Blyton's most rounded characters with both good and bad traits. She is by far the most realistic of the Five.

I voted for Anne. Because if I want my tea cooked for me, she's the only option - of the other four, I'd have as good a chance of Timmy cooking as the other three. (I dare say Julian would take absolute control of a barbecue.)

Seriously, I always liked Anne, probably because she was (a) girly, and (b) young. I always preferred younger children - less bother. Children my own age got in my way, and girls were less aggressive than boys (usually!). And she had a bit more sense about not wanting to climb into all these caves and tunnels.

I vote George - she was always my favourite (followed closely by Dick!). I love her temper and that she wants to be a boy - I did too.

And she is extremely loyal, couragous and fun!

Like Jools I had a crush on Julian as a child!
Although I still think he is the best of the FFs! I loved the way he stood up to Pa Stick, so polite and yet so rude! Plus he always looked out for the other three.

I have to admit that I voted for George, too - more because she was my absolute favourite when I was younger, than for any other reason! I loved the fact that she had her own castle and island (not to mention the wreck), and because she was always so fierce to her enemies and loyal to her friends. However, I find that Dick is by far the funniest, and I can appreciate Julian's sense and cutting tongue that seems to get them all out of tricky situations, especially faced with the Sticks and the baddies from Five Get Into Trouble.

Me Too! Sorry!

Julian for me. I liked the way he took charge- I was only eight when I first read the books, so i couldn't see the flaws- I can now, but I still like him the best!

sorry
