This The Mystery Series kicks off the series and introduces the main characters along with a bunch of others. My mental image of Mr Goon, the local policeman, is pretty well fleshed out from having read the entire series when I was young, but he only has a bit part in the first book and hasn't been fully realized. The story starts with Larry and Daisy Daykin spotting a flare up out the window at about half past nine one evening. They get dressed and sneak out of the house with Larry explaining (a little vaguely) that "Mummy and Daddy are busy, so they won't know anything about the fire." Vagueness about unnecessary details is Enid Blyton's style throughout this series. Parents never get in the way of the plot. So they head outside and meet Pip and Bets Hilton, who have also snuck out. Together they race down the lane to find Mr Hick's cottage burning. There, in the garden along with other onlookers, they meet Frederick Algernon Trotteville, a plump boy with a small black Scottish Terrier named Buster. Later the others pick up the initials of Frederick's name, F.A.T., and henceforth call him Fatty. Introduced in the first chapter is Mr Goon, the local policeman, who is not described much but whose first words are, "Clear orf, you!" |
