The “Famous Five” are Georgina (preferred name George) and her dog, Timmy, with her three cousins, Julian, Dick and Anne. Julian, Dick and Anne arrive in Kirrin Cottage to stay with George for the holidays. But Aunt Fanny falls ill and has to leave with Uncle Quentin to be treated in a far-off hospital. They are cared for by their new cook, Mrs Stick, who is with her husband and their son Edgar. The Sticks and the four children come to hate each other. Mrs Stick repeatedly tries to poison George’s dog Timmy. George makes a secret plan to run away to Kirrin Island. When Julian catches her leaving, she decides to allow the other children to go with her. The children find a mysterious suitcase on the island and suspect smugglers. They discover a young girl’s toys and clothes and hear a girl screaming at night… Enid Blyton (1897 - 1968) is one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors. Her books have been translated into over 90 languages and are still enjoyed by children and adults all over the world.
