Over a hundred million books have been sold, and nearly all of the original novels have subsequently been adapted for television (the first TV series in the late 1970s adapted all but three of them, missing out two due to rights issues and another because it was impractical to film on the available schedule, and a later mid-90s series managed a full house). Today, more than two million copies of the books are sold each year, making them one of the biggest-selling series for children ever written. By the end of 1953, more than 6 million copies of these books had been printed and sold. Blyton created several similar groups for her detective series, including The Secret Seven, The Adventurous Four (not to be confused with The Adventure Series) and Five Find-Outers, but the Famous Five is the best-known and most popular of these.īlyton only intended to write about 6 to 8 books in the series but, owing to their high sales and immense commercial success, she went on to write 21 full-length Famous Five novels.
But in Five on a Treasure Island he is "Tim" or "Timothy" throughout. The novels feature the adventures of a group of five children (well, four children and a Team Pet) - Julian, Dick, Anne, George, and the dog Timmy note Which is how everyone remembers the dog's name. The first book, Five on a Treasure Island, was published in 1942.
The Famous Five is the name of a series of children's novels written by British author Enid Blyton.
