I'm currently working my way through the whole series again and have just purchased River because Mum's set wasn't complete - Ship is my next one!Tony Summerfield wrote:I am currently reading The Sea of Adventure. It was the very first Blyton book that I read, followed by two more Adventure books, but I didn't read my fourth one until I was in my 40s!
As the children are relaxing comfortably on a springy bed of heather, I keep wondering whether Enid ever tried it!!
I noticed a lot of children's books from that era extol the virtues of sleeping on heather. I tried it once when I was about 12 and went hiking in West Sussex...I can guarantee from personal experience it's not that comfortable!
