Five On a Treasure Island – Enid Blyton
70 years ago, in 1942, the first book in the Famous Fiveseries, Five On a Treasure Island,was published. To mark the anniversary a number of well-known, brilliant illustrators have breathed new life into the covers of 70-year-old stories. Helen Oxenbury, Quentin Blake and Oliver Jeffers are among the illustrators to add their own style to these classic tales.
At the time of her death, in 1968, Enid Blyton had published an estimated 800 books. Many adults remember her stories fondly and children today are still discovering them. Half a million copies of the Famous Fivebooks are still sold every year.
