But the telescope was drawn the wrong way around! This mistake was soon noticed and, for the 4th impression of the book in 1950, Soper redrew the telescope (and made some other minor content changes). It had a dust jacket designed by Eileen Soper, the illustrator who worked on so many of Blyton’s books, showing the gang looking at a distant building through a telescope. Attention Enid Blyton Collectors! I came across an interesting little quirk in the publication history of Enid Blyton’s Five on Kirrin Island Again last night, while I was doing a tad of research on some new collectible Enid Blyton books in our stock.įive on Kirren Island Again, the sixth of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five stories, was first published by Hodder and Staughton in 1947.
