Books Update: Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven
*Children’s Books: Not far behind her Famous Five series in fame and popularity, Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven trod much the same ground in their adventures under the guise of a secret society of child detectives (of course). Consisting of Peter, Janet, Jack, Barbara, George, Pam and Colin, the Secret Seven also included the obligatory canine (but unofficial) member, Scamper the golden spaniel. (Poor Scamper – Timmy was an official member of the Famous Five!) Three hardcover editions new in, all in dust jackets with removable archival film covers, one first edition, and two later printings from the 1950s/60s.
