I've save my dust jacket- Fifth at Malory Towers and would have to pick up my second impression- Five on a Hike, because that's one of my favourite FF's. :D

Please don't ask me to choose between the two!!!! :) Both are brilliant!!!

"You're so sharp you'll cut yourself one day!" Hunchy said going to the door
"So my Mother told me that when I was two years old!" said Julian and the others giggled.

I would want to save all my treasured collection of Blytons. :D

But if I really had to save one, I think it would be The Boy Next Door. I fell in love with that book when I read it at a young age, and it still holds a special place inside me.

Like most Enid Blyton Fans I would try to save them all - but if it was only one my favourite would have to be In the Fifth at Malory Towers - I just love the dustjacket .

This is really difficult. I would be torn between Valley Of Adventure and Rubadub Mystery. They are both masterpieces but as my copy of Valley is a first edition I would choose that one.

Gosh, what a tough one. I think I would save my copy of Real Fairies, for a purely financial reason. I got it at a fairly reasonable price, and think it would be the hardest one to replace.

Although I'd feel guilty about not saving a couple of Secret Seven books that belonged to my aunt, which she very kindly passed to me - they have family inscriptions inside.

Not a tough one for me and at the risk of being predictable (yet again!) I would save The Six Cousins at Mistletoe Farm (the edition i have at present is a 1995 reprint by Parragon books entitled "Animal Stories" that also contains "Six Cousins Again") and "The Mystery of Tally-Ho Cottage".

I'd save Adventures of the Wishing-Chair — mine is a first edition (which contains chapters that were cut out of the later editions) and it didn't come cheap!!! :shock: (It wasn't beyond what I could reasonably afford, but it was still the most I've ever paid for a single book.)

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)
