Five Go Gluten-Free

Enid Blyton`s books are beloved the world over and The Famous Five have been the perennial favourite of her fans. Now, in this new series of Enid Blyton for Grown-Ups, George, Dick, Anne, Julian and Timmy confront a new challenge: is it possible to get a good gluten-free cream tea? Julian, Anne, Dick, George and Timmy are all feeling really rather rum, and it`s been going on for days. Nothing seems to work, and with their doctors mystified, they`re driven to trying out various expedients to cure themselves. Julian goes online to self-diagnose that he`s got pancreatic cancer, bird flu and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Anne decides that the old methods are the best and decides to have herself exorcised – which proves to be an awful lot of bother for everyone, and such a mess. Dick goes to a witch-doctor who calls himself a `homeopath` (`sounds only one short of sociopath, Dick!`) but it`s George who discovers they need to go on an exclusion diet, so they enter a world of hard-to-find, maddeningly expensive specialist foods.
