Enid Blyton was my favourite author growing up and I devoured everything she wrote. I decided to re-read a few of her novels as an adult and I wasn't disappointed with this first novel in the mystery series. Naturally the mystery of the burnt cottage was very straightforward as an adult, but as a child I remember marvelling at the twists and turns in the plot.
A must -read for children!

My dad used to read this series to me and I just love them. There are other series that are more famous by Enid Blyton, but this is the best. I highly reccommend them. Brilliant writing, good plots, and all about friendship and imagination. Who could go wrong with that?

As weekend approaches, it is nostalgia time. Even though this was the first mystery in the series, I read it quite later on. Now I remember only Fatty and Buster the Dog, though.
Considered as mysteries, these were simple to the point of silliness, but I read most of them at the right age. So the stars are from my childhood self.
I liked Fatty because he was fat - like me. It somehow boosted my ego that a fat boy could be clever.

Findouters Challenge: Book 1. Among Enid Blyton’s mystery series, the Five Findouters have always been my favourite (though I read and loved the others too), one reason being the very imaginative solutions to so many of their cases. This time around I’ve decided to read all 15 of the books chronologically for the first time.

A student member of our book club read this, so I decided to give it a read. What a charming story about 5 kids and a dog. It took me back to my childhood, although I wasn't around at the writing of this book. I loved the English phrases/accents! 'I'll be ready in a tick.' Love that! And of course the kids called the copper 'Ol Clear Orf,' because he always told the kids to clear off. Childhood innocence, with a tad of mischief, and always in good manners. Again, quite charming and fun, even tho..more

Having read most of these delightful whodunnits by the age of 10 I still hadn't got hold of the first book in the series which gives a lot of important background for a fan. For some reason the local bookseller never had it in stock and when I asked about it he told me that they'd had some in, but they went like 'hot cakes'. He didn't offer to order me a copy and I didn't realise that he could have done. No wonder independent booksellers go out of business. I had to resort to re-reading so many..more

Finally, I've already finished this book. I like to read mystery book. I chose this book because I used to read books that Enid Blyton write.
This novel is easy to read because The writer, she used easy vocabulary and didn't have complex sentences. This novel is about five children and one dog. They want to find that who burnt Mr. Hick's cottage. All of them are clever and really observant. If you want to read a childreb novel with easy vocabulary and funny, I will suggest you to read this book!

This book is about 5 children who would like to find the truth about the person who burn the cottage. I enjoyed to read this book and want to be one of the find-outers too. In my opinion, I think the hero of this story is Buster if he doesn't good nose for snuff, maybe they can't find the real suspect.

I was struggling a bit to think of a children's classic that was not a young adult novel (I Capture the Castle) or a picture book (Winnie the Pooh) or anything by Frances Hodgson Burnett (ha, well, I might read The Secret Garden anyway..), when luckily Christophe came along and suggested his childhood fav The Find-Outers.

It seems incredible to think that Enid Blyton, the world's sixth most popular author (right up there with Shakespeare), is virtually unknown in the United States, but so it is. Whether this strange reality is owing to the anti-American prejudice some have perceived in Blyton's work, or simply to the fact that the U.S. has a long-standing and very prolific tradition of children's series of its own, I couldn't say. But as someone with a great interest in children's literature, I have long thought..more

Going back to days of carefreeness, the Series is Definitely one of my favorite when it comes to children's book. Read it whenever you want something light hearted to read. For some, it may be non realistic, hypothetical storyline, but come on! That's why we read books right?
Short, precise story, with a new plot twist in almost every chapter, it delivers what is takes to be called a mystery story to a decent level.

The review is about all the 15 books of the series. They're all pretty much the same after all. The writing is awful, all books begin and end in the same way and the characters are stereotypical: the genius boy that does everything right, the smart girl who would probably be even smarter if she was a boy, and three more kids who have essentially supporting roles proving that the first boy is a prodigy! Still, there is something about these books which never stops fascinating me. I'm going back t..more

Loved this series of books as a child. These fuelled my liking for the crime/thriller/mystery genres of books, which I still love reading today.
The first in the series (I'm reading them totally out of order, by the way) sees the Find Outers come together for their first mystery. It's good to see the others doubting Fatty's genius, and sneering at Bets. They soon change their tune! You see, Bets and Fatty (and Buster of course!) become my favorite characters over time, so it's good to see the others doubting and being shown up. The whole group isn't sure how to tackle a mystery, and that's part of the fun. They aren't the conscious detec..more

I think it is a great little book with a lot of small time humour. It may be a children's mystery book, but like any good mystery book, it fills you with surprise and is great for any age groups. The story is very unsuspecting, keeping the culprit hidden till the very ending. For a children's book, it still fills the grown-ups with suspense, and surprises you at the end. Great Book from Enid Blyton.

My favourite Enid Blyton series - the characters are so much fun and hey, how could you not love disguises, bamboozled policemen and villainous villains?
I didn't read this series in my childhood. It seems strange reading a Blyton mystery, instead of the adventures I'm used to, but this is done quite well, with one of her typical group of children as heroes. They investigate a case of arson, trying to find out who set fire to their neighbor's cottage. It's straightforward, but it has everything and everything fits tightly: there are suspects, clues (or 'glues', as Bets would say), alibis and red herrings. Think of it like Agatha Christie for chil..more

As a kid, my favourite Enid Blyton mystery stories were those of the Five Find-Outers (and dog), over the Famous Five or Secret Seven. I just found myself really connecting with the stories and used to make my own invisible ink or hide in dens after reading them. I've decided to re-evaluate these stories as an adult, and THE MYSTERY OF THE BURNT COTTAGE is the first in the series.

“I never have bruises like that. I suppose it's being fat that makes them spread so. Won't you look lovely when you go yellow-green?'

The Mystery of the Burnt Cottage is the first in the series of children's novels the Five Find-Outers by Enid Blyton. It was first published in 1943 and continues to be frequently reissued.[1]
Plot summary[edit]
The Mystery Of The Burnt Cottage Full Movie
The novel centres on the mystery of who could have set fire to Mr Hick’s cottage. The five children, Larry and Daisy Daykin, Pip and Bets Hilton, and newcomer Frederick Algernon Trotteville (later nicknamed Fatty from his initials), meet at the scene of the fire and end up solving the mystery together.
Their suspects include an old tramp, a dismissed servant, a hostile colleague, and the cook. They find certain clues: Broken-down nettles in a ditch, a footprint in a grassy field, and planes (which Mr. Hick mentions 'flew over' the other day).
The children realise that as Mr Hick claims to have been in the London train when the cottage was burnt, but by his own report he saw the planes which flew over the village at the same time, he is contradicting himself. Fatty finds out that the cottage and the burnt papers Mr Hick describes as 'most important' were insured. The children deduce that Mr Hick burnt his own cottage for the insurance money. The book also introduces Inspector Jenks, who turns out to help the children and becomes a good friend of theirs.
