The Enid Blyton for Grown-Ups series takes the beloved Famous Five characters and puts them through the trials of contemporary adult life. Titles like Five Go Gluten Free, Five on Brexit Island, and Five Get Beach Body Ready mine comedy from the contrast between the characters’ innocent origins and the stresses of modern existence.
Bruno Vincent published the first batch in 2016, and the series grew quickly with multiple releases in 2017. The books are short, illustrated in the style of the original Blyton editions, and designed as humorous gifts. The series returned in 2020 with Five Go Absolutely Nowhere, a nod to pandemic lockdowns.
