Five Go Parenting

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 possibly their toughest challenge yet: parenthood Bringing up a baby would surely be kid`s play for The Five. How hard could it possibly be?When the doorbell rings one Saturday afternoon, the last thing the Five were expecting to find on their doorstep was a baby…But the Five are next of kin to Cousin Rupert and his wife, so when they find themselves in a spot of bother and are destined for a short spell behind bars, Anne, Dick, George and Anne are the first port of call. First, it`s the fear and the tiredness that kicks in. They are terrified at being responsible for this new life and have no idea they`re doing it right. Why is it crying? They use Dr Google constantly, who whatever the situation offers the same range of advice from `don`t worry about it` to `rush her to the A&E`. `Why is she crying?` they constantly ask. `Why?` It keeps them up all night every night, until they are reduced to walking ghosts, haunted by a numb and impotent fury.Is this an adventure too far for our Five?
