Catalogue Note
In 2012, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Enid Blyton's much-loved Famous Five series, five of the most illustrious children's illustrators of today were asked to provide new special anniversary covers for the first five adventures in the series. The artwork presented in lots 294-298 is the original artwork as published by Hodder Children's Books for the 70th anniversary edition.
