CHAPTER 1
FIRST DAY OF THE HOLIDAYS
" 'Morning, Mother! 'Morning, Dad!" said Roger, and ruffled his father's hair as he
passed him, and dropped a kiss on his mother's curls.
"Don't do that, Roger," said his father impatiently, smoothing his hair down. "Why
are you late for breakfast? And where's Diana?"
"Can't imagine," said Roger cheerfully, helping himself to an enormous plateful of
porridge. "Asleep, I suppose."
"Never mind," said his mother. "It's only the second day of the holidays. Roger, you
can't possibly eat all that porridge — with sausages to follow."
"Oh, jolly good," said Roger, sitting down in front of his great plateful. "Any fried
onions with them?"
"Not at breakfast-time, Roger. You know we don't have onions then."
"I can't imagine why not," said Roger. He began to eat his porridge, craning his neck
to read the back of his father's newspaper.
As the newspaper was folded in two, the reading matter was upside down for Roger,
and his father glanced at him irritably.
"Roger! What are you screwing your head round like that for? Have you got a stiff
neck?"
"No — only just reading that exciting bit in the paper about the dog that . . ."
"Well, don't. You know it's bad manners to read a paper when someone else is
reading it," said his father. "Don't they teach you manners at school?"
"No. They think we learn them at home," said Roger cheekily.
Mr. Lynton glared over the top of his newspaper. "Well, then, perhaps I'd better
teach you a few these holidays," he began. And just at that moment Diana burst into
the room, beaming.
"Hallo, Mother! 'Morning, Dad! I say, isn't this a heavenly day — all daffodils and
primroses and sunshine! Gosh, I do love the Easter hols."
"Get your porridge, dear," said her mother. "Roger, you haven't taken all the cream
surely?"
"No, there's a spot left," said Roger. "Anyway, it won't hurt Diana to have plain
milk. She's too fat."
"I'm not! Am I, Mother?" said Diana indignantly. Her father gave an exasperated......

Good for the children
I love these books ..... grew up with them!
Brings back memories! Arrived quickly!
I love these books!
Great book again, as is the whole series. Good reading for young and old.
Delighted to have found this book, which was part of my introduction to the world of mystery. Now that I'm a mystery author myself, I appreciate it even more. I loved Enid Blyton.
Enid Blyton (AKA Mary Pollock) was a prolific author of children's stories written and published in England around 1930. Colloquiums for the place and time will need to be explained. All that aside, Enid Blyton was an excellent author and I highly recommend her stories for the appropriate age group.
I read most of this series when I was very young. The Blyton books bring back very fond memories of England in a period of her history (1938 - 1960 ) that was both hard, difficult and scary (years leading up to WWII and the rather wonderful years post WWII of a typical English village. I really can relate to this series as I grew up in a small village in Kent, also went to boarding school and loved to come home for the Hols and meet-up with all my mates. This really is memory lane for me and I believe that the love of these books are worthy to pass on to my grandchildren.
