What would The Secret Seven do without Scamper the spaniel? First he discovered an unwanted visitor then he protected The Secret Seven as they spy on a thief late at night in Bramley woods.

The FAMOUS FIVE are Julian, Dick, George (Georgina by right), Anne, and Timothy the dog. This is the story how the 'Famous Five' came into being, and of their very first adventure together. And what an adventure it was-involving an island, a ruined castle, an ancient wreck-and a desperate treasure hunt! The children's pluck and resourcefulness saved the family fortunes and made possible many more exciting expeditions for the Five.
