Les Cinq Détectives

Article by Paul from Australia (November 30, 2005)

See also: Swedish Titles and Dutch Titles

There's a French website that features the French editions of the Five Find-Outers. They are called "Les Cinq DétectivesTranslation: The Five Detectives). Apparently Fatty is called Ray and Mr Goon is Mr Groddy in the French editions! As I noted on the Enid Blyton Society forum, the French titles have also been changed, as is set out below, with my best efforts of a translation...
