What was the last book you read?

I've just finished "Famous Five On A Summer Picnic". Absolutely fantastic. The summer hols have just started and The Famous Five are looking for adventure. Dick and Julian infiltrate a gang of Colombian drug smugglers and suffer horrendous abuse inside a Bogota prison when they are caught. Big Burly Julian becomes a real favourite in the showers with the inmates and Dick isn't left out of the fun either. I won't give away the ending in case you haven't read it yet but it is only the quick thinking of Timmy The Dog that saves the day when the drug barons decide that Dick and Julian need to pay for their intrusion and no amount of ginger beer or heaps of tomatoes look as if they can help. It's a real cliffhanger.

 

I've just finished The Beano Christmas Album 1987. Biffo The Bear is a right jack-the-lad but Desperate Dan is my favourite. Would you believe he ate a whole Cow Pie by himself.

 

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell.

 

I've just finished reading Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends. It is about a collection of railway locomotives that can talk. I found it all rather difficult to believe.

 

Undefeated - The 1974 British and Irish Lions in South Africa.

A brilliant account of the greatest ever British & Irish squads and the unbeaten tour of South Africa.
