I think by the time Blyton got to this final and sixth of her "R" or "Barney" mysteries she was phoning in the plots. It's an enjoyable read but once again there's a family crisis, a beachside holiday, Snubby's hi-jinks, secret passages, mysterious noises, mysterious criminals and annoyingly cliched locals (in this case the Welsh who are very badly portrayed). There's less sense of place than in the earlier books, however it's still a pleasant, escapist read. Interestingly the series is continued in German with a translation of a stand-alone Blyton from another series and an original work in that language! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Barney_Mysteries nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Three weeks' holiday at Merlin's Cove sounds perfect to the four friends. They plan days full of swimming, ice creams and picnics on the beach. But then Snubby finds a letter written in code and the children soon realise that something sinister is happeni Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The pre-adventure part is nice, although not particularly different from previous Blyton novels. The adventure is fine too, although rather short and lightweight, accounting for the novel's short length. The best part for me was the scene where Snubby gets all his clothes dirty and is forced to buy some second-hand outlandish clothes. Dressed like a ragamuffin, he's confused with a similar-looking local ragamuffin who was supposed to be carrying a message, and there the adventure starts. Other highlights are little Dafydd and his goose, and Mrs. Jones and her constant talking about her husband's "very good cooking". I felt sorry about her.
Snubby is my favorite character in this series and never fails to provide some amusing moments. It's a pity that, unlike Barney, he doesn't find a parent.
Anyway, another entertaining novel in the series, although a bit slight. Blyton's final novels tend to be not very good, since they were written when her faculties were declining, but this one was published a few years earlier than the last novels of other series, so the problem is less noticeable. It's true, however, that it feels less original, as if many recurring elements were being reused. ( )
