2) Part of their adventure is figuring out the map they have and trying to reconcile the vertical connections it shows with reality so as to gain entrance to the dungeon.

Currently reading the first Famous Five novel to my son and it has a surprising amount of resonance with #OSR D&D. The plot (spoilers) centres on a treasure map to a ruin on an island.
1) The children consistently refer to the underground level of the ruin (the only part still extant) as "dungeons" throughout. Despite the characters realising early on that they are just cellars, not literal dungeons, they and the narrator still refer to them as dungeons.

Did your friends include Timothy, George, and Julian? Did you have lashings of ginger beer? Did you encounter smugglers?

Happy Persons Day! Here’s my annual reminder of the complicated legal and moral legacy of the Famous 5 - a video I shot during the “high COVID” times of 2020. (Hence the outdoor mask and the very uncut hair.) But I don’t think the message is at all out of date. https://youtu.be/a_HhQP3HoxU?si=3SxCTSwsCH6_O9ly #SenateofCanada #PersonsDay #Famous5 #Alberta #FamousFive #Vriend #LGBQT

Weird how the Harry Potter franchise is irrevocably associated with transphobia, while a generation or two ago in Britain, one of the most popular series of kids books had as a main character a gender-dysphoric child in social transition.
Remember, George was AFAB but living as a boy, and everyone just shrugged and got on with it.

Fuckin' hell, Enid Blyton must be on crack or something.

While waiting for #DoctorWho #TheGiggle and #Strictly (and maybe the new #FamousFive adaptation) I’m continuing with the Thai drama - Shadow which dumped it’s second half this week…
The “monster” reminds me a lot of Ged and the Gebbeth in #AWizardOfEarthsea

Today is the 94th anniversary of Persons Day - when the Privy Council in London ruled Canadian women were person - in rights and privileges as well as pains and penalties. In 2020, I made this video essay about the complicated, painful, powerful legacy of the Famous 5, the magnificent, deeply flawed women who made equal rights in Canada reality. https://youtu.be/a_HhQP3HoxU?si=cuwZy_u5jA6243os #PersonsCase #PersonsDay #FamousFive #SenateofCanada #Vriend #abpoli #Edmonton #yeg #Alberta #Canada #eugenics #lgbtq

Didn't Comic Strip do this back in the day?

94 years ago, on October 18, 1929, Lord Sankey stated:
"The exclusion of women from all public offices is a relic of days more barbarous than ours. And to those who would ask why the word 'person' should include females, the obvious answer is, why should it not?
It is mindboggling that there are women alive today that were not considered persons under the law.
Hats off to the Famous Five for their courage and tenacity!

Huh. Nicolas Winding Refn is to reinterpret Enid Blyton's “Famous Five” for the BBC.
This is going to be interesting. Popcorn may be required.

One of my all-time favourite books: #MeddlingKids by #EdgarCantero.
Basically, it's the #FamousFive meets #ScoobyDoo via #Aliens and #Lovecraft.

What I have in mind is #EnidAnew (!) — a reimagining/retelling of a bit of the 'Mystery' series (also known as #FiveFindOuters). Lest you confuse this with the (more popular) #FamousFive, this is the one with Frederick Algernon Trotteville ('Fatty'), #EnidBlyton's version of #SherlockHolmes.

@willmabbitt #EnidBlyton books - first (self-discovered) The Magic Faraway Tree, which introduced me to the concept of strange and mystical worlds, and then when a bit older, The #FamousFive series (one bought for me) had me hooked with adventure.
I'm enjoying revisiting them with The Boy. I read a couple of #FarawayTree books to him (which he's read himself in turn), and I'll introduce the Famout Five soon too - but I'm reading him #TheHobbit at the moment, another great one!
