Barney, Roger, Diane and Snubby love solving mysteries, with the help of Loony the spaniel and Miranda the monkey. When the children go to stay in Ring O' Bells Village, they are eager to explore the secret passage in Ring O' Bells Hall. Is it really a dead end as they have been told, or does it follow the route marked on the old map they find? The Children investigate and hear strange noises. Could there be something hidden in the pasage - or even someone? AUTHOR: Enid Mary Blyton (11August 1897-28 November 1968) was a British children's writer known as both Enid Blyton and Mary Pollock. She was one of the most successful children's storytellers of the twentieth century. She is noted for numerous series of books based on recurring characters and designed for different age groups. Her books have enjoyed popular success in many parts of the world, and have sold over 600 million copies. Blyton is the fifth most translated author worldwide: over 3544 translations of her books were available in 2007 according to UNESCO's Index Translationum she overtook Lenin to get the fifth place and is behind Shakespeare. One of Blyton's most widely known characters is Noddy, intended for early years readers. However, her main forte is the young readers' novels, where children ride out their own adventures with minimal adult help. In this genre, particularly popular series include the Famous Five (consisting of 21 novels, 1942-1963, based on four children and their dog), the Five Find-Outers and Dog, (15 novels, 1943-1961, where five children regularly outwit the local police) as well as the Secret Seven (15 novels, 1949-1963, a society of seven children who solve various mysteries). Her work involves children's adventure stories, and fantasy, sometimes involving magic. Her books were and still are enormously popular in Britain, Malta, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia; as translations in the former Yugoslavia, Japan; as adaptations in Arabic; and across most of the globe. Her work has been translated into nearly 90 languages. *… (meer)

Well that was a blast from the past and rather better than I remembered/hoped. The third in the Barney or R mysteries sees brother and sister Roger and Diana, their orphaned cousin Snubby and his dog Loony, sent off to convalesce from flu at the fairytale village of Ring O'Bells where they meet up with their older friend Barney and his monkey Miranda. There's the fairly standard Blyton emphasis on catching criminals, secret passages and wonderful meals. However I was rather delighted with some of the description of the English countryside and people and the rather charming friendly squabbling amongst the cousins. Will reread the Rubadub mystery next. ( )

Mientras Roger, Diana y Chatín pasan una temporada en la Aldea de las Campanas, su viejo amigo Nabé hace auto-stop con su mona `Miranda` para reunirse con ellos. Nabé no tiene ningún lugar donde quedarse así que decide dormir en el Ayuntamiento de las Campanas que ahora es un museo. Pero comienzan a pasar cosas misteriosas, campanas que tocan solas, ruidos procedentes de un pasadizo secreto tapiado...

This is my absolute favourite of the other mysteries-series by Enid Blyton. In German they made the difference clearer by naming this series "Rätsel um..." (with Barney) instead of "Geheimnis um..." (Find-Outers). I only read these novels in German, but ventured to read this particular one in its original language as well (not finished). And they are - of course - both fantastic.

It's the thrilling story of three children who spend an unexpected holiday in a small town where they believe nothing ever happens (which is what their parents wanted, as the kids need to get better after a long illness). But one night the mystery starts: bells are ringing (hence the original title: The Ring-O-Bell Mystery). And soon the children find out that the bells always ring when the little town is due to suffer from great danger such as an attack by enemies... Soon they are joined by their friend Barney and the mystery-solving begins.
I won't tell more about the story so not spoil the fun, but I think it's save to say that this story triggered my climbing down my grandfathers draw well in search of a certain secret passageway...

Luckily, you can jump into the Barney Mysteries series wherever you like, so that's why I recommend to start with this novel and then read the others. ( )

I picked up The Ring O' Bells Mystery, by Enid Blyton, from a remaindered house for a few bucks, mainly because I love her Mallory Towers series which I read and re-read as a child. This particular novel is part of another 5-part series, "A Barney Mystery," in which all the titles are similar: "A (Something Starting with the Letter 'R') Mystery," of which The Ring O' Bells Mystery is the third. The Lynton children, Roger and Diana, and their cousin Snubby are sent to a small village to recover from the flu; soon they discover a secret passage in the local manor house, which is curated by a disagreeable woman who seems disinclined to carry out her job duties of showing the house to paying customers. It's not long before the children decide to write their circus friend Barney, who is readily able to join them and to look into the mystery that seems to lie at the heart of the old manor.... This is very much a children's novel, for around age 8 or 9 I'd guess. I enjoyed the glimpse into English middle-class attitudes in the middle of the 20th Century (the book was published in 1951), but I wouldn't bother to pick up the rest of the series. ( )
