About this audiobook

Meet Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timothy. Together they are THE FAMOUS FIVE.

'There was something else out on the sea by the rocks - something dark that seemed to lurch out of the waves . . . What could it be?'

Julian, Dick and Anne are spending the holidays with their tomboy cousin George and her dog, Timothy. One day, George takes them to explore nearby Kirrin Island, with its rocky little coast and old ruined castle on the top.

Over on the island, they make a thrilling discovery, which leads them deep into the dungeons of Kirrin Castle on a dangerous adventure. Who - and what - will they find there?

Ratings and reviews

I love this book. Brilliantly narrated by Jane Francis. I don't understand why it was narrated again in 2017 by someone else and now not in my shelves order and never shows up. For some odd reason I don't understand it's now a special edition and not in the bundle sold by Google books. It's weird.
