There's life after the Famous Five, and it is called fandom, judging by the number of fellow Five-ians I've found with this post.
still have the books - about 10 or so, though knowing Enid Blyton as i do, she probably wrote waaay more than just 10.
Oh my god yes. I have about 30 of them, and I'm nowhere near the complete set.
did you happen to read her boarding school books? like Mallory Towers or the Chalet School series?
Sadly, no. But - Mallory Towers and Chalet School are both actual fandoms. Teeny ones, but - I remember seeing at least one request in yuletide this year, and I know several people who are ever seeking Chalet School fic.
Damn. Now I wish I could remember who (besides slemslempike, who I believe has deleted her LJ, but who wrote her thesis on those books), because now I want to link you to them. But, sadly, I didn't make notes. *vows to do better in the future*
In any case: you're not alone. I didn't manage to find the boarding school books, but other people did. And, inevitably, they ended up in fandom.
