BRAND NEW, Exactly same ISBN as listed, Please double check ISBN carefully before ordering. Review: Great books for 1st/2nd grade youngsters! - I have been very disappointed with the new crops of children's books I found in the library and reading requirements from school. until I found Enid Bylton 's children's books. I bought the Famous 5 and Naughtiest Girl! My little girl is completely charmed by the books! It is such a shamed that entire Long Island library system do not have any of these wonderful children's books! When your 7 years old asked to read just another page please, it felt good. Granted the books are published 70+years ago, and some of the stuff is a little out dated, like my Little one have no idea what a Gramophone is, so we had fun looking it up and find on YouTube how the thing works! Yes, over the summer, my little one finished one of the Famous 5 and one of the Naughtiest Girl! She loves them! We draw the main characters in the book, and she found out that how I imagine the characters and how she imagined is different, makes her think! I especially love the messages and morals of the stories I like my child to learn! Granted it is not the most diverse in physical character, but the personalities are! Review: Fun and interesting children's book - What is interesting is that it is a good book and fun, but not exactly modern. The parents want to teach their wealthy, naughty child how to be a good girl and nice to others. She is an only child and a spoilt brat and her parents think she needs to be around other children and learn how to get along with others at a boarding school for girls. She is very attractive and has a good brain and they want her "To work hard, get good grades, be obedient, share with other children, be quiet, clean, have good manners..." At this, one thinks that this is not a modern idea of children. You may wish that more children were like this, but today's way of thinking of children is quite different. Manners? Quiet? Obedient? Work hard? Anyway, it's one way of looking at raising children back in the '40's and 1950's. And you can spend time with some different values for children for a while in this fun and interesting period book.

Great books for little girls
I ❤️ Enid Blyton! I read ALL her books as a little girl myself and I am thrilled to find them again on Amazon.com! I have introduced my 7 year old to her books and she loves reading about the Naughtiest girl! When she done with this boxset, I will purchase the other Enid Blyton boxset, and I can't wait for her to start reading about The Famous Five!🤩

A nice touch of nostalgia
The Faraway Tree and the Naughtiest Girl series were the only Enid Blyton books I'd ever enjoyed as a child and felt like a comfy read when I discovered these books were still available - and to my surprise, being read by a new generation! I admit that I had few hopes when I got this book to read on Kindle. After all, ENID BLYTON????! However, I enjoyed it. The book is beautifully written and although it's out of date and probably politcally incorrect, I still liked reading it. One niggle was that the modern editing was faulty - eg, the girls are apparently allowed to go to the pictures once a week, but on TWO POUNDS a week pocket money?? Also, Poor Elizabeth hands over her term's money, totalling eight quid but will get £2 a week back and she's bitterly disapointed! They should take more care with this kind of thing! All in all, a big nostalgic hit for me. I imagine that modern children will enjoy it, too - although quite how they could possibly relate to a ten-year-old going away to school is a mystery.

私もこんな学校にいきたい!
両親にあまやかされて、おてんばでわがままいっぱいに育ったエリザベスは、とうとう全寮制の学校に入学させられることになりました。でも学校がいやでいやで仕方がないエリザベスは、退学にされれば家に帰れるだろうと期待して、いたずらの限りを尽くして大暴れ。けれども彼女の学校の先生は生徒を罰しないのです!生徒の悪い行いは生徒全員が集まる総会で、どうすればその子が良い子に変われるか、その方法が話し合われます。 そして1学期限りで家に帰ろうと思い詰めていたエリザベスにも親友が出来、様々な楽しい行事を経験するうちに、やがて学校が大好きになっていきます。子供はどんな子も必ずよい子になれる!という善意にあふれ、放課後は町に出かけておやつやアイスクリームを買ったり映画を見たり出来るユートピアのような小学校、こんな学校が嫌いな人がいるはずはありませんよね! なんといっても驚かされるのは、この小説が1940年に書かれていることです。同じ作者の他の作品、あるいは他の学園物シリーズと比べてみても、小学生が放課後町に出かけて、お小遣いを使える全寮制の学校、というのは子どもの夢をみたす空想上の学校ではないかと想像しますが、それだけに今読んでも時代の変化による違和感が少なく、楽しく読み進められるとことでしょう。

One of the Best book for a kid!!
I got the kindle edition. My 6 year old was glued to it for couple of weeks. It’s a big book with 24 chapters. But it is easy to read. And she became a fan of main character in the book. In short it’s a great book. I wished the book would have few more pictures.
