Five on Finniston Farm -Enid Blyton Audiobook Abridged Famous 5 (Hodder Audio Tape 1998 HH32860)

Enid Blyton's Five on Finniston Farm - as a multi-actor audiobook play. Book 18 of the original Famous Five series written in 1960.

There's a ruined castle on Finniston Farm! But only the dungeons remain - and nobody knows where they are. The Famous Five are determined to find them and whatever is hidden there. But with a rich American family staying at the farm, they're not alone in their hunt...

It is abridged byJohn Lewis with a 68 minute running time, the story still works well with enough tension and drama. These shorter dramatizations are ideal for 'reading' in a single sitting and are great for relaxing bedtime, or car journeys with kids. Recorded/released by Hodder Children's Audiobooks, performed by Nick McArdle, J Nigel Pegram and Jonathan Keble; with Rowan d'Albert as Julian, Adam Free-Paske as Dick, Jo Thurley as George, and Scarlett Strallen as Anne.

This is shared from a recording of a cassette tape, so lots of old-fashioned tape noises, but still listenable and an enjoyable telling for childhood nostalgia and relaxation or for excitement in new generation of imaginative listeners.
