Product Description A jigsaw Puzzle with a difference based on the popular Enid Blyton Famous Five books. First you need to read the short story which is enclosed, this sets the scene for the adventure. Once the story has been read you need to assemble the 250 piece puzzle although this is not quite as simple as it sounds as there is no picture clue for reference! The puzzle is specially designed to be able to be completed with no picture clue - for example the lines are bold and the colours matched in such a way as to make things a bit easier. Once the puzzle is complete you can solve the mystery using the clues in the puzzle. You can check the solution by holding up the back of the booklet to a mirror - but no peeking! The finsished puzzle measures 335mm x 490mm Manufacturer's Description A jigsaw Puzzle with a difference based on the popular Enid Blyton Famous Five books.

Great idea!
I really like these jigsaws as there is no picture guide, you need to read the story and work out the picture from there. You are basically solving a mystery. My daughter is 7 and managed it with help from me over a couple of hours the first time but has since managed it several times by herself. There are several stories and I have them all.

The not so Famous Five!!
My 7 year old daughter received the 3 Famous Five Jigsaw puzzles as Christmas presents off her grandparents.We're all fans of the Famous Five, so we were very disappointed to find they had changed the names of the Children: Julian is now Max, Dick is Dylan, Anne is Allie and George is Jo and to confuse things even more her mother is called George! Timmy is still Timmy thank goodness. If they are going to call these puzzles Enid Blyton's Famous Five, they shouldn't change the names.While I was reading the story that went along with the puzzle I had to try and call the characters by their original names, which occasionally was a little confusing. If you've never read the books the puzzles are fine, but I just wanted you to be aware of the name changes and the fact that it doesn't mention the names anywhere on the box!Follow Up ...Have now discovered that this is next generation Famous Five: The Disney Channel has created a new generation and done away with Julian, Anne, Dick and George and Replaced them with their descendants, Jo, Max, Dylan and Allie. keep his name.They now use smartphones and laptops to take on villains. Half-Indian Jo is the daughter of original tomboy George. Her real name is Jyoti. Allie is the Californian daughter of Anne, who supposedly moved to the U.S. after college.Dylan is the wannabe business tycoon son of Dick, while Max is the adventure-loving son of Julian. (This information comes from the Daily Mail!)Grandparents still disappointed that id didn't mention the names on the box!

Great fun
My daughter is 6 1/2 and loved this puzzle. She loved the story, but needed help with the jigsaw as with no picture it was tricky, but she was very keen to know who the thief was and loved that to read the solution you had to read it in the mirror! She really wants me to get her the famous five books now too! Would really rate this product for any child who likes books and puzzles.
