Famous Five 21 Book Complete Classic Edition Gift Set (Famous Five Gift Books and Collections)

This set I bought for my 9 year old daughter.... I have asked her to write a review and below review is been provided by her.... Famous Five Review Hi this is Saee. I am nine years old. I started reading this books from 27/06/2020. I am currently reading 9th book. I love reading these books. This involves 4 cousins and their pet dog. First book is about 3 children visit their cousin. There they visit Kirin Island. They go for a dive in the sea, to explore the old wreck. They do a thrilling discovery in the dungeons. Second book - They again visit Kirin cottage. They get a tutor to look after them. After couple of days they get to know that their tutor is some smuggler. They explore a secret tunnel led to a secret passage. Third book - The five run away to the Kirin Island . But there suspect some smugglers. But at night they here some girl screaming. Are the smugglers even kidnapers? Will they be able to catch them? I can’t tell what every book is about. But I bet you will not keep the book down once you start reading!

Complete set of 21 books , bought it for my son ...he is extremely happy with it !! quality of books is also decent , paperback quality is also good

My nephew was thrilled to get this set for his birthday 🥰

These books are my all time favorite 😍. Ordered these for my 7 year old, she too loves them! I've deducted 1 star for sending me regular edition books instead of the classic edition which I had ordered. Amazon India please note this as many customers have complained about the same!

The book set is complete with all 21 books, but the print on the books is different than the pne show in the pictures for the product i had bought this book set specifically because of the print and the cover design which resembles the original print of the books but this is a new cartoony version and honestly i don't like it, i have been a famous five fan since i was 8 and i have read all the books in a lilbrary , but i wanted to own a set myself since long, and i expected the product to be as it is in the pictures given, also the box in which it came has multiple tears and scratches, and i know what a hassle it will be now to return it or replace it, so i am stuck with it anyway.

Enid Blyton is one of my favourite author and Famous Five is one of her masterpieces. I have lot of childhood memories attached to this series and was looking forward to gift these books to my daughter. But Alas! It was a huge disappointment becoz of below mentioned reasons; 1) The box set comes without a box, there is nothing attractive or classic about it. It was delivered as a pile of books packed in the Amazon carton. 2) The books look new and got a good cover...but inside it's just like any other paperback with thin pages and not so good pictures...it looks almost liked photocopied pages. Once you open the book, the fun of reading and flipping pages of a good book is gone.. Having said that, if you want to introduce your child to good books, getting 21 books at price of 2650 /- is not a bad deal at all..

Got the copy of serial no 5 and 7 book double. Whereas serial no 11 and 17 are missing..

Replacement item is same as the one sent earlier. The issue was that it's not CLASSIC as advertised. The illustrations are new and not vintage as should be in the Classic collection. This is cheating. Wish I could return the whole thing and get a refund.

My wife got these for our daughters and reads them these stories every night. The box is high-quality and the books have the old artwork which is really cool and nostalgic.

Wow, I wasnt expecting these books to be brand new but they are! Over the moon. Haven't took the plastic wrap off as they're an Xmas gift but everything looks to be as it should. Made up!! X

The books are fine, all 21 are there. But does not come in compilation box, just wrapped in plastic. This edition comes with old style illustrations on cover and inside. I like that over the more modern editions, because the language and the setting of the stories matches the illustration style very well.

A very nostalgia series book moment from my younger days

多読のSSSサイトで紹介されていたfamous fiveの全21巻コレクションです。 ざっくり計算で約100万語、この価格で読めます！安い！ 読みやすさレベルは4.0-5.0です。 A to Z mysteries(3.5-4.5)がスラスラ読めるようになったので挑戦しましたが、ぐっと難しくなります。 1文1文が長くなり、ところどころ古めかしい表現が多いです。特に動詞が、不規則動詞で一瞬知らない単語に見えます。speedの過去形でspedとか。まあchoose-chose-chosenなどから想像つくので慣れたらいけます。kindleだと辞書機能があるので大丈夫でした。 1話の最初になかなか入り込めず、このシリーズを読む前にfamous five shortstoriesを2冊購入して、そっちはフルイラストつき、ちゃんと同じ作家さんの短めでとっつきやすいお話だったので、人名や性格などをしっかり理解して戻ってきて読みました。 時系列的にはshortstoriesはこの1巻のあとの話なので、ネタバレ(そんな大したものじゃないですが)が嫌ならこっちを先に読んでください。 1巻の途中まではついていくのに精一杯でアップアップしましたが、途中から緊迫してきて一気に面白くなり、先を読みたくてどんどん進みました。 古き良き冒険小説で、子供たちの個性も微笑ましく、子供から大人まで楽しめる作品だと思います。
