Description
Enid Blyton's books are beloved the world over, and The Famous Five have been the perennial favourite of her fans. Now, in this new series of Enid Blyton for Grown-Ups, George, Dick, Anne, Julian, and Timmy are keen to show Aunt Fanny how much she means to them.
Join Julian, George, Dick, Anne, and Timmy the dog as they try to celebrate Mother's Day with Aunt Fanny. George has past form in forgetting—not least her mum's birthday and Christmas presents—so tensions are running high even for the charged normality of their mother/daughter bond.
But things go from bad to worse when Fanny comes to stay, with relations strained almost to breaking point. Can the Five save the day, and will Uncle Quentin get involved?
