Each walk brings them a wealth of knowledge about living things, and through this they come to love nature.

Editor's review

This is a book of nature observation and experience for children by the British children's author Enid Blyton. Since its publication in 1944 it has been widely welcomed around the world for its beautiful language and lively content. It tells of three children who, together with their neighbour, a writer uncle, take twice-monthly walks in the fields, observing the flora and fauna of the countryside over a full year of exploration and learning. Its value lies not in instilling facts but in turning nature observation into a rhythmic, sustainable daily habit: a fixed walking schedule, adult companionship and guidance, and continuous recording of the changing seasons all give children a model they can follow. The writing is beautiful and the narrative warm; following the three companions, children will naturally develop curiosity about and love for nature. For today's urban families in particular, this book reminds adults and children alike to slow down, go out to the fields to look and listen, and connect book knowledge with the real world.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Parents and primary-school children hoping to cultivate an interest in nature observation
Young readers who love plants and animals and want to know the countryside through the seasons
Teachers and reading promoters who need nature-themed read-aloud material
Families who want to take children into the fields for parent-child outdoor activities

Not a good fit for

Readers looking for a nature encyclopedia or species identification guide
Children who prefer fast-paced adventure stories and lack patience for observational description
Adult readers seeking systematic biological knowledge

Reading tips

Read in the order of the months in the book, and after finishing each month's chapter take your child to a nearby park or field for a real observation.
When reading together, encourage your child to imitate the three children in the book and record the plants, animals and seasonal changes they see.
Combine reading with walks: read a passage before each outdoor outing and go into nature with questions to find answers.
For younger children, parents can read aloud, then talk together about what the children and the writer uncle discover and feel in the book.

About the author

伊妮德·布莱顿 Author

Enid Blyton was a renowned British children's author, best known for the Famous Five series. Six of her works are included in this collection: Smugglers' Fortress, The Secret Deep Inside the Old Tower, Treasure Hunt at the Old Castle, The Strange Face at the Castle Window, the four-volume Famous Five Castle series, and Let's Go Outdoors. These titles span mystery and detective fiction, foreign literature, and popular science. Her writing features tight plotting and constant suspense, blending youthful adventure with castles and secret chambers to create brave, clever child detectives; she also wrote nature-oriented science, encouraging readers to observe the outdoors. Public information is limited, yet her castle series is representative in its suspense and narrative pacing, and has reached Chinese readers as well.

杨文展 Author

Yang Wenzhan is an author with limited publicly available information. Two works are currently confirmed under this name, one in the social sciences and one in popular science. The first, The Millennial Generation That Cannot Lie Flat (tentative title), examines generational circumstances and social attitudes, while the second, Let's Go into the Wild (tentative title), leans toward nature and outdoor themes. Together they suggest a writing scope that moves between social observation and nature popularization. Because details such as dates of birth and death, nationality, education, and professional experience are not clearly documented, a full picture of the author's work is difficult to draw. Judging from the subject matter of these two works, however, the author tends to start from everyday experience and public concerns, presenting topics in an accessible, readable manner that combines knowledge with practical concern. For readers seeking to understand this writing trajectory, these two books serve as the main entry points to the author's thematic interests and expressive style.
