Long shot but hope you can help

[goz]

Hello all i hope everyone is well this sunday evening. Now i know this is a long shot but im looking for an Enid Blyton book i read when at school, unfortunatly i do not remember the name of it. I do however remember the cover quite vividly, the book was a 2 in 1, i think a secret seven and a famous five in one book. On the cover it was night time and one of the children was holding a torch in what appeared to be a garden,there was also either a house or castle with a dark figure at the window. I read this in about 1993 and would dearly love to find this particular reprint. Any help finding what the name of the book is and where i could find a copy i would be very grateful.

Many thanks

The way you describe the cover, It could a scene from "Five get into trouble". I don't know if that helps you, but it would fit. Have you tried Tony's cave of books yet? There might be cover scan there. Or you might be lucky at Amazon's marketplace. It may not be the cheapest option to buy the book, but as a source of information it comes in handy sometimes.

Cheers

The only 2in1 adventure stories book that I am aware of contains Mischief at St Rollo's and The Children of Kidillin. My paperback copy does have children with a torch on the cover, but doesn't appear in the Cave.

There's also Boy Next Door/Treasure Hunters and Cliff Castle/Smuggler Ben 2 n1s as well as, I believe, some of the Secret Series and Mystery Series released in a 2in1 format, but I doubt there would ever be a SS/FF 2in1.

I know the Boy next door/ Treasure Hunters 2in 1 paperback, but that doesn`t fit your description of the cover.
I remember a 2in 1 paperback that includes The Secret of Moon Castle with a house and a dark figure against a lit window on the cover. I´m not sure about the second story in it, could have been The Mystery that never was...

Goz, just so you can cross that Cliff Castle + Smuggler Ben double book ('Enid Blyton's Mystery Stories') that Fiona mentioned off your list of possibles, here is a link to the (tatty) dustjacket of my copy.

Best of luck with your book hunt.
