all english versions from UK's hodder paperback. Still got 21 complete set lol. My fav was Julian for his maturity and timmy well for being most brave , Dick was pretty cool , anne was simply adorable. Didn't fancy georgina or her father much for thier angry tempers or george rushing into face of danger ignoring warnings :P 

Heh, good ol times.

Loll George was always bloody getting into scraps and screwing things up for the others :P I didn't like her either. I think my favourite was Five Go On A Hike Together, sometimes they were really spooky haha, I should totally read through my set again. 

Jolly good times! 

Did you ever read her other books? The Wishing Chair and The Magic Faraway Tree were both series I learned to read by. 

But my favourite of hers was The Secret Island. I always thought I get into adventures like they did when I was older but I never found any secret doors or hidden passages anywhere :P
