The Famous Five and Secreat Seven are one of the most lovable and immersible worlds ever created in literature.
The world in itself provides a fantasy as relevant today as it was fifty years ago when these books were written.
The stories are always tucked into the children’s moments between dull reality, and always take place during the holidays when the children come home from their schools. The cottage which is George’s home, and all the other places they visit are the sweet countryside where there are cottages, picnics, bicycle trips, home-made food, islands, seashores, and always a thrilling ADVENTURE. The characters are chiselled with a very few words, there are no swirling descriptions of the scenes, but that is what fuels a child’s imagination and make the reader think for himself. Compare that to today’s readymade cartoons and children’s storybooks and you will realize how proactive these books are - they make children long to do something, experience life, love nature and be happy within
