EXCLUSIVE: Up-and-coming Brit scribe Jon Croker will adapt Enid Blyton’s classic tale of derring-do The Famous Five for UK production powerhouse Working Title. Blyton, akin to the JK Rowling of her day, is one of the biggest-selling children’s authors in history with global sales of over 600 million books. The Famous Five, with over 20 novels following the adventures of a group of four young children and their dog Timmy, is arguably her most iconic collection of books. It was estimated in 2012 that a Blyton book is sold in the UK every minute.
Enid Blyton's works have been long overdue for film and TV adaptation.
