I read a lot of the Five Find Outers as a kid. My brother had at least a few of them before I got them handed to me. It was a while before I even knew there was a Famous Five or a Secret Seven. I thought someone had made a mistake. How many of these gangs could be running around? I think I tried a Secret Seven one, but it made no impact. The disappointment felt by my lack of support turned the Famous Five into the Fearsome Five and all but one of the Secret Seven formed the Secret Six. I'd never put the "and dog" onto the end of it either until I worked out the first part of the answer. Oh, and someone bought me a few of these a couple of years ago for my birthday.

I also wondered about that. The Secret Seven were differentiated from the Famous Five, by the setting (former in a “typical” English village, latter during vacations in the countryside). And the Five Find-Outers was more humorous
