I read this book as a child and remembered being incredibly moved and enthralled by it. Its about a family that has fallen into hard times and how the children in the family pitch together and help each other. Recently, I bought this book for my daughter from a used book store. I read it yesterday simply for the fun of it and could not put it down. It held the same appeal to me as 30 years ago. I am on now a mission to collect as many Blyton books as I can and hand them over to my kids. Its a travesty that these books are going out of print and are not available anywhere.

Despite being more than 75 years old, many of these stories..especially the fantasy ones--are very relatable to the kids of today. And very inspiring too, with sound values and moral lessons.
