The Rat-A-Tat Mystery by Enid Blyton Vintage Children's Book Collins First Edition 2nd Imp.

"Enid Blyton did not mean to write this book. There were already four books in this Mystery Series, all about Roger, Diana, Snubby and his mad little spaniel. -- four books in which the circus boy, Barney, was seeking his unknown father.

In the Rubadub mystery he found him -- and that was to be the end of the series. But the lovers of these 'Barney Books' begged so hard for yet another, that there was nothing for it but to write a fifth.

So here it is, sure of a tremendous welcome, for here are all the well-loved characters again -- with Loony the spaniel and Miranda the Monkey, madder and more comical than ever!

A winter holiday down at Rat-a-Tat House, in the snow-clad hills, cut off from everywhere -- and mystery and adventure spring up out of the snow! Who came knocking in the night? Whose were the mysterious footprints in the snow? What was the wandering Snowman? What indeed was hidden in the cellar? This is indeed a very strange mystery -- an Enid Blyton Mystery which, as ever, will hold your attention from the first word to the last."

Let "The Rat-a-Tat Mystery" transport you to a world of adventure, where young minds can explore, discover, and unravel the secrets hidden within its pages. With enthusiasm and an unwavering sense of wonder, Enid Blyton invites you to join her young detectives and embark on an unforgettable journey that will leave you eagerly anticipating the next adventure.
