The Adventure series originally comprised eight novels, and contains some of Enid Blyton’s most intricate plots. It was aimed more at older readers (pre-teens or possibly even early teens, right at the top end of Blyton’s usual target market). In the 1990s, there was a TV series based on the Adventure books, and from this series were spawned eight novelisations. All but one of these novelisations have the same title as their original counterpart. They are nonetheless entirely new stories and written by various British authors. A full list of these TV novelisations is given below. Incidentally, they were all published by HarperCollins in 1997, and none of them are illustrated.
No.: 1 Title: The Island of Adventure Author: Hugh Morgan
No.: 2 Title: The Woods of Adventure Author: Helen Wire Remarks: This is the story with the altered title. The Blyton original was called The Castle of Adventure.
No.: 3 Title: The Valley of Adventure Author: Andrew Donkin
No.: 4 Title: The Sea of Adventure Author: Unknown Remarks: According to a review on Amazon UK, this book has a distinctly New Zealand flavour, with the characters going to New Zealand rather than Scotland for their holiday, and old Maori history featuring in the book! (Come to think of it, I think the Adventure TV series was filmed in NZ.)
No.: 5 Title: The Mountain of Adventure Author: Alexandra Parsons
No.: 6 Title: The Ship of Adventure Author: Alice McCann
No.: 7 Title: The Circus of Adventure Author: Nigel Robinson
No.: 8 Title: The River of Adventure Author: Nigel Robinson
