Phantastic Stories 005: Through the Door by Ruth Ainsworth Read by Gav Cross

I wasn't really a Famous Five kind of guy and I was a kid. I don't recall ever reading the books.And I didn't really watch the famous 80s TV versionIt was on ITVI didn't watch much ITV then. Or now…I think my most endearing introduction to the world of the famous five was through the Comic Strip Presents version. Five Go Mad in Dorset.Anyway I am culturally aware enough to recognise that this story is perhaps in that realm. Maybe there are other stories featuring this gang? I don't know. I do know that I pick this because it is rather a sweet story. And as we discussed in the life version I think this is targeted at about 10 years old, and above.What do you think?What are you doing Tuesday at 8:30 pm?Would you like to join me for a conversation and then Q&A with poet, writer, broadcaster, comedian & more, Robin Ince?Thanks for reading!
