The Seven have been making snowmen in the field opposite a lonely old house. When Jack returns home, he finds his badge gone. As he is not allowed to go out after lunch, he decides to steal out of the house at night and go and see whether he can find his missing badge. That is when he discovers a mystery worth investigating.... Enid Blyton (1897 - 1968) is one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors. Her books have been translated into over 90 languages and are still enjoyed by children and adults all over the world.
