Her books have sold over 500 million copies and have been translated into other languages more often than any other children's author.

A disgruntled former bodyguard of his father sees him and his accomplices end up kidnapping Dick by mistake, thinking he is Richard Kent and that they'll be able to get a large ransom from his father. The events at the commencement for the five kids to commence a trip look a little too absurd; but, I think the narrative wouldn't have grown as it did.The seclusion itself adds to the intrigue and of course there are the remote-controlled gates which are essential. When Dick gets kidnapped after being mistaken for a boy named Richard, the others set out to rescue him and soon find themselves involved with desperate criminals, stolen diamonds, and escaped convicts. The fact that these children think so little of him actually pushes him to grow beyond his spoiled ways and try hard to earn their respect. uk, quoted since the actual book blurb is not very informative): On their peaceful camping and cycling tour of the English countryside, the Five come across Richard Kent – the son of one of the richest men in the country!

But when the gang finally track him down to a lonely, abandoned house, they too are seized and held captive.

Even after her death, her endearing stories continue to draw the rapt attention of children everywhere. Actually Dick and Julian should've switched names, as Julian often really acts like a real dick by being condescending towards girls. Bukannya Richard, mereka malah menculik Dick (yang namanya merupakan kependekan dari 'Richard', selain juga berarti bahasa slang untuk menyebut kemaluan laki-laki.

Saya nggak pernah menyadarinya waktu baca buku ini di masa kecil dulu, tapi Lima Sekawan ini ternyata memang lapar melulu, hehe.When the crooks decide to let them go (before changing their minds when they discover that Richard is actually with them) they give them a heap of hush money, which Julian then turns around and gives to the maid. In between all the eating and sleeping, our protagonists also solve some 'mysteries' that are either unbelievable or totally clear from the beginning. When it's all over you can relax and savour the after-taste of a book which is one of the most popular in the series. Timmy has his share of the fun or should I say danger, as always, and towards the end you can read about a desperate bid which reminds me a little of the final pages in The Valley of Adventure. I couldn't stop laughing at the gift, it was so thoughtful and I'm excited to have this back in my book collection for good.

However, these being the Famous Five, they decide to look for Dick themselves, taking the scared Richard with them. That night, Julian finds Dick locked in an upstairs room and discovers a secret room with a man sleeping in it. The rescuers, together with Richard, are trapped as you would expect and they encounter some vicious and cruel people — three of whom I mentioned when writing about the Rotters and Bounders that feature in Enid Blyton books.
