(Order reference 15178)Enid Blyton’s books are beloved the world over and The Famous Five have been the perennial favourite of her fans. Now, in this new series of Enid Blyton for Grown-Ups, can George, Dick, Anne, Julian and Timmy survive the ultimate test of their friendship: Brexit? It is the night of the referendum and the Five have retired to Kirrin Island to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, fed up with the rancour of public debate. George is firmly a remainer, whilst Julian, who is in the Brexit camp, is tolerated on the grounds that Anne cannot bear to go camping without him. (Timmy, largely apolitical but not keen on cats or rabbits, joins them too.)The night is tempestuous in more ways than one. George has managed to rig up a satellite link with the mainland so they can keep abreast of the news, and they sit huddled around the fire, amidst some tension, as George’s initial hope that the remainers will triumph proves premature. Meanwhile, a violent storm whips up. The damage is apparent as the new day dawns and George declares a new meaning for Brexit: Kirrin Island is exiting Britain that is, until the red tape becomes too much of a challenge and their happy life together is under threat. Perfect for anyone sick of hearing that Brexit means Brexit , or for that relative you’re still not talking to because of how they voted.

The thought of being cooped up in Blandings Castle with Clarence, the Earl of Emsworth, the perennially youthful Galahad and with the Earl's younger son, Freddie Threepwood, openly appalled Colonel Wedge. It was, he grimly asserted, like being wrecked on a desert island with the Marx Brothers.
But the arrival of Tipton Plimsoll at Blandings Castle considerably brightened the Colonel's horizon. For Tipton was a rich young American and rich young Americans were, in the Colonel's opinion, quite the most desirable companions for his daughter, Veronica, the dumbest beauty listed in the pages of Debrett.
The stage was set for a great romance, or so the Colonel thought, and so it might have been had the knowledge of Freddie's erstwhile engagement to Veronica been withheld from the jealous Tipton, or if Prudence, the Earl's niece, had not been forcibly parted from her unsuitable lover, Bill Lister. On such incidents do great issues depend.
However, Uncle Gaily, who combined the ready resource of a confidence trickster with the zeal of a cheerful crusader, intervened with an ingenious scheme to reunite the young lovers. It was a master-plan. How the plot miscarried at the crucial stage and in doing so caused a social and domestic revolution unparalleled in the history of Blandings Castle, is revealed in this most hilarious of chronicles.£100.00 -

It is spring in Witney Scrotum - the swallows have returned to the golf ball museum - and the Brigadier, acerbic narrator of Tales From a Long Room and The Brigadier Down Under, is in reflective mood.
Moving lightly over the horrors of the moving television screen, the British Empire, the glories ofthe 'summer game' and the groundsman's horse, he remembers with fondness - tempered by the occasional burst of outrage - such incidents as the day they discovered the Commodore's gardener was none other than Hermann Goering, the visit of the Holy Father and his fiendish leg tweak, the destruction ofthe Royal College of Umpires and many, many others. The Brigadier's eye is happily undimmed by the passage of years, and the results are hilarious.£6.00 -

Why do more men go fishing every weekend in Britain than go to football matches or attend any other sport?
What do they really get up to when they abandon a warm bed before the crack of dawn, stuff a haversack with tins of assorted maggots, half a hundredweight of pulped bread and a folding campstool and disappear into the drizzle? It is estimated that well over one and a half million wives wish they knew the answer.
When Thelwell fell victim to this strange phenomenon he made a startling discoveryanglers - don't know either. It was clearly time that some sort of enquiry was conducted into the strange rituals of the cult and its secrets exposed to the public gaze.
After years of crawling through wet grass, 'conducting lonely vigils in distant torrents and extracting needle-sharp hooks from inaccessible parts of his clothing, Thelwell has at last presented his report.
Compleat Tangler takes the lid off the world of Anglers and Angling. It deals with coarse fishing, game fishing and sea fishing and is designed to show the layman what he's missing, the angling widow what she's up against and the angler why he's so content to spend all his leisure hours with a wellington full of water.£15.00 -
