Re: Russian Famous Five Books?
No. 7 doesn't really suggest anything to me. Like Cathy, I'd have thought it was Five Fall Into Adventure. I'll guess Five on Kirrin Island Again.

Re: Russian Famous Five Books?
The last one could, at a stretch, be caravan? I'm just trying to think of the ones with underground passages.
Or, at another push, Kirrin Island Again and that could be the quarry end of the tunnel.

Could the last one be Mystery to Solve? There's a tunnel in that one as well, isn't there?

Re: Russian Famous Five Books?
I think you're right about Finniston Farm John, the church on the left is where the passage comes out, and Anne (?) is running away with what looks like a tankard from the treasure?

Re: Russian Famous Five Books?
Hmmm. I ran Pete's minuscule Russian titles through Google Translate and they've come out as "Mystery [of the] Red Kidnapper" and "Mystery [of the] Silver Limousine".
Do any of you who know the Famous Five books better than I do have any idea which ones those could be??

Re: Russian Famous Five Books?
Hm well Red Tower is a kidnapper, and Mr Stick is a kidnapper and Jennifer has red hair, those are the only very tenuous links I can think of at the moment!
And the only car links I can think of are Gringo's big American car, is 7 Plenty of Fun?
