“This is the first Enid Blyton adventure mystery story about Barney the circus boy and his wicked little monkey Miranda, Roger and Diana and their irrepressible cousin Snubby.  Snubby has a dog – a completely crazy spaniel called Loony.  What with the children and the monkey and the dog there is plenty of liveliness – and when a first-class Mystery turns up the excitement is tremendous.  Who makes the noises in the night? What is the mystery about the old deserted house, whose top rooms are still furnished as nurseries?  What is the secret of the vast old cellars? Where does the underground stream go to?  All these questions and many others the children set out to solve, with the monkey and the dog to help and hinder.”
