Book Review: The Riddle of Holiday House by Enid Blyton

The book, The Riddle of Holiday House, follows the brother-sister pair of Nick and Katie who are sent to Holiday House on holiday. There is lots of exploring to do and when they discover strange lights, a man in the window of the abandoned house on the cliff plus the entrance to an underground tunnel and what with things starting to disappear from the house, it soon becomes apparent that things are not so calm and serene as they seem in Holiday House.

Enid Blyton has woven together mystery, laughter, sadness, hope, guilt, evil, love, jealousy, triumph and justice all so expertly in this story. There is the jealousy of Clare when she feels that she is forced to share her mother with the other children; the love and duty that Gareth feels towards his brother Peter that he strives to hide him from everyone; the hope that Mrs. Holly feels when she tries to make Clare understand that she
loves her above all; the evil that we see in Sam who is unrepentant of his sins. All the emotions are simply yet effectively delivered to the reader and
which leave their impact on us long after we have read the book.
