Description[]
The Five Find-Outers and Dog (not to be confused with The Famous Five), also known as the Enid Blyton Mystery Series, is a series of children's mystery books written by Enid Blyton and first published between 1943 and 1961. Set in the fictitious village of Peterswood, close to Marlow, Buckinghamshire, five children (and their dog) encounter a mystery almost every school holiday, always solving the puzzle before Mr. Theopolius Goon, the unpleasant village policeman, much to his annoyance.
The children are Frederick "Fatty" Trotteville, Laurence "Larry" Daykin, Margaret "Daisy" Daykin, Philip "Pip" Hilton, Elizabeth "Bets" Hilton and Buster, Fatty's Scottish Terrier. They also are accompanied by Goon's nephew Ern in some books.
Fatty is often in disguise to solve the mysteries.
