The “Famous Five” are Georgina (preferred name George) and her dog, Timmy, with her three cousins, Julian, Dick and Anne. The Famous Five are spending their holiday at the family house of Julian, Dick and Anne. They make friends with a circus boy, Nobby, who is in a procession of horse-drawn circus caravans. So they decide to have a caravan holiday. Julian’s parents agree and hire two caravans for the children. They travel to Merran Lake, where they find Nobby and meet various animals. But some of the circus people are not friendly to them and want them to leave. Why? 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.
