My favourite of Enid Blyton’s stand-alone books
The big series always get the most attention, even here at the WOB. But what about all the one-off books? Well, here are my favourites. Those Dreadful Children I grew up with the Armada paperback of Those Dreadful Children and … Continue reading
If you like Blyton: The Adventurers and the Temple of Treasure by Jemma Hatt
I recently read, or should I say listened to the first Adventurers book; The Cursed Castle and reviewed it. I was sent audiobooks of the first three titles in the series on audiobook by Jemma Hatt herself, in exchange for … Continue reading
The Island of Adventure: An audio review
As I’ve mentioned a few times I’m a big fan of audiobooks. They mean I can take in a book while doing other mundane tasks like hanging washing or cooking a meal. I can also listen while out walking – … Continue reading
If you like Blyton: The Adventurers and the Cursed Castle by Jemma Hatt
As you’ve seen me say before I am always quite wary of anything that proclaims to be perfect for fans of Enid Blyton. However, in this case, I think the claim is justified. There are three books in The Adventurers … Continue reading
The Secret Island – an audio review
A while back I noticed that Audible were now doing both The Secret Series and The Adventure Series in audiobook. I’m a member and get one book a month for about £8, so I got both The Secret Island and … Continue reading

Five on a Treasure Island – a review of the unabridged audio
I’ve gotten quite into my audiobooks this past year – they definitely help me to read more. I can ‘read’ an audiobook during times when I couldn’t hold a print or ebook, like when I’m walking to work or on … Continue reading
Last Term at Malory Towers: Audio Adaptation
So here we are at the last audio adaptation of Malory Towers. Its been a rather short run of these audio comparisons but with only six volumes in the series, how could we expect more? Maybe I shall have to … Continue reading
In the Fifth at Malory Towers: Audio Adaptation
We’re almost at the end of these comparisons, mostly because there was only ever six to do with Malory Towers. In the Fifth is my second favourite Malory Towers book, the first being The Third Year at Malory Towers. The reason … Continue reading
Upper Fourth at Malory Towers: Audio Adaptation
The Upper Fourth at Malory Towers is the one that made the biggest impression on me when I was younger and the cassette that I had listened to, had filled me full of dread for failure. The crux of the … Continue reading
Third Year at Malory Towers: Audio Adaptation
The third Malory Towers book happens to be one of my favourites, tied with In the Fifth, but re-listning to the audio cassette today made me realize that even though its one of my favourite books, it is not one … Continue reading
Second Form at Malory Towers: Audio adaptation
Following on from the review I did of the First Term at Malory Towers audio before Christmas I finally caved and brought an downloadable version of The Second Form at Malory Towers because I couldn’t find my cassette tape. Anyway, … Continue reading
Five Have a Mystery to Solve: An exciting dramatised adventure
This is the last of the CDs that I have, and I’ve left this one to last as it’s one of my least favourite Fives. It’s hard to say why. Something to do with how un-Fiveish it is for them … Continue reading
First Term at Malory Towers: Audio adaptation
Well thank goodness I still have a working tape machine in my room otherwise I wouldn’t be able to bring you this blog at all. Once I had located the tape I slipped it in the player and off we … Continue reading
Five Go Adventuring Again: An exciting audio dramatisation
This is one of the CDs I got free from The Daily Telegraph years ago when they were running a promotion. The only differences between this one and the one that you can buy in the stores is that this … Continue reading
Five Fall Into Adventure: An Exciting Dramatised Adventure
I’ve been very good this week and actually listened to this in advance of blogging day. I was also a bit forgetful and forgot to turn off the shuffle feature at first, so started with a random chapter. Oh well! … Continue reading
Five Get Into Trouble: An exciting dramatised adventure
Five Get Into Trouble is the second CD in the set, Five Fall Into Adventure being the first. I had a half-moment of hesitation before putting Trouble on, as I like to read/listen in order but I’ve been promising Trouble … Continue reading
Five Go Down to the Sea: An exciting dramatised adventure
I’m being bad this week and listening to CD2 from the set before CD1. I can’t help that though as I promised to do Five Go Down to the Sea and I much prefer that to the alternative which is Five … Continue reading
