Kitty's Reader Notes & Book Snippet

"This is the third book in this Mystery Series, and I hope you will like it as much as you liked the other two. I will write you a fourth book soon.

The other two books are:

The Rockingdown Mystery
The Rilloby Fair Mystery

The same children, same dog (Loony) and same monkey (Miranda) appear in each book. Each story is complete in itself, though it is more interesting of course, to read the whole series.

Good luck from

Enid Blyton"


The Ring of Bells Mystery has the timeless charm that was part of Enid Blyton's remarkable skill at entertaining young readers. Why not give this old book a chance and allow new generations to experience the joy of discovery and the magic of Blyton's storytelling prowess.
