review
What did you like most about Famous Five: 1?
I liked it the most when they found the gold.
Who was your favorite character and why?
George was my favourite character because she owned the island.
What does Jan Francis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I think if you get stuck on a word when you are reading the book you would have to sound it out but in an audio book they just say it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes I begged my mother so I could finish it because it was so exciting.
Any additional comments?
I think this is the best book I have ever heard (so far). I am about to listen to the next Famous Five.

Fantastic Story
I set out looking for a book my children aged 4, 9 and almost 11 could listen to in the car from school each day to enjoy. I used to love books by Enid Blyton as a child, however I did not come across the Famous Five until now. I really enjoyed this book myself and my kids absolutely loved it and couldn’t wait each day to find out what happened next. It has become a little tradition to instead of turn on the radio, listen to a story instead. Highly recommended and Jan Francis does a brilliant job, her performance is what really made this story shine it’s brightest.

Not Just for Kids
This is a great story to get acquainted with the Famous Five series.
Insightful characterisations, believable storyline, skilfully performed by Jan Francis.
Don't be put off by the one voice doing all of the characters. More professional
and enjoyable to listen to than the use of various child voices used in the dramatisations.
May take a few minutes to get used to the voices, but once you do, you're on your way.

I read some of the famous five books when I was young, so decided to buy this to introduce my children to something that I had enjoyed. It went down better than I expected, the story really hasn’t dated much at all, and both of my kids loved it and are now looking forward to book 2 on our next long car journey.

Timmy was a large brown mongrel! Startled it was changed to a black and white dog........
Enjoyable and nostalgic but again so surprised wonderful Tim was so misdescribed! Also so many references to jeans which really jars as they all wore shorts, even Anne when she wasn't wearing a dress or skirt. Such a pity as so few words are changed from the original text, even those far more outdated. Just wish it was all left as it was written. Apart from these cringeworthy changes, really enjoyed it. But...... Timmy was a large brown mongrel dog!!!!

The First In A Fantastic Series
Since a lad in our dormitory at school read Five Go Down To The Sea to us I've always wanted to explore these books. The trouble was that there were very few of them in Braille in the school library and not long after that Mum said I was getting too big for children's books like these. But during the lockdown (we're still in this situation as I write this) I decided it was time to start collecting the whole series. So I got the first 8, two in the 2 for 1 sale, and have just finished this one. It was lovely to hear how the five got together and once George gets over her initial reservations and accepts her cousins she really is such a pleasant person. I felt for George as the book described her as not much as a mixer and fond of going off on her own. I wasn't much of a mixer at school and Mum and Dad often told me I should mix more but I just wasn't that way inclined. Still once I found my friends I was fine. I felt sorry for Quentin too as he so longed to give George all he could but couldn't until ... well, you'll find out as you listen. So often we misjudge grown ups as children but as we progress through life we realise that they mean well in all they're trying to do though it might not look like that in our childish years. Enid Blyton's final words in the book make it quite clear that there are more books to come and I love the way she does this. Anyway I look forward to book 2.
