Five go off in a Caravan -Enid Blyton Audiobook Abridged Famous 5 (Hodder Audio Tape 1999 HH147)

Enid Blyton's Five go off in a Caravan - as a multi-actor audiobook play. Book 5 of the original Famous Five series.

A caravan holiday for the Famous five, it's bound to end in adventure! Then they catch up with a circus! But some circus people have more sinister plans than clowning around...

It is abridged by Derek Webb and Phil Evans with a 65 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, Judy Bennett and Eric Flynn; with Henry Marsh as Julian, Jack Shute as Dick, Scarlett Strallen as George, and Ellie Bevan 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.
