Island Of Adventure: Macmillan Classics Edition

Description

A beautiful Macmillan Classics edition of the first book in Enid Blyton's Adventure series

For Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann, Jack and Kiki the parrot, the summer holidays in Cornwall are everything they'd hoped for. Until they begin to realise that something very sinister is taking place on the mysterious Isle of Gloom -- where a dangerous adventure awaits them in the abandoned copper mines and secret tunnels beneath the sea.

A beautiful edition of the first book in Enid Blyton's classic Adventure series. Gloriously illustrated with the original line drawings by Stuart Tresilian, and with a foreword by Cressida Cowell, this is a truly special gift to treasure.
