It is Christmas Eve, and the Famous Five are very excited about their mountain of presents - even Timmy! But when Timmy barks furiously he is sent outside, leaving a thief free to steal all the presents. Can Timmy still manage to save the day?

In addition to the 21 novels in the Famous Five series, Enid Blyton wrote a clutch of short stories based on the characters. These were published in magazines and were collected in the Famous Five Short Story Collection (Hodder). For the first time, the complete text of Happy Christmas, Five! appears in an individual volume, illustrated in full colour.
