Synopsis
This book is rewritten from Book 4 of THE FAMOUS FIVE - Enid Blyton’s most popular adventure series. The “Famous Five” are Georgina (preferred name George) and her dog, Timmy, with her three cousins, Julian, Dick and Anne.
Julian, Dick and Anne are spending the Easter school holidays with their cousin George at her parents’ house, Kirrin Cottage. After a tree falls on the house, the four children are sent to Smuggler’s Top, the home of Mr Lenoir, a fellow-scientist of George’s father, Uncle Quentin. It is a large old house at the top of an old hilltop coastal town. There, they discover secret hiding places, underground tunnels, and one night they catch someone signalling out to sea! Are there still smugglers at Smuggler’s Top?
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.
