t is in this book that Jack, Philip, Dinah and Lucy-Ann first became friends and find themselves spending the summer at Craggy-Tops, with Philip and Dinah's Aunt Polly and Uncle Jocelyn. We are introduced to some of the wild creatures which Philip carries about his person — including mice and a squirrel — and it's interesting, as the series progresses, to see how many different kinds of animals he manages to tame. Craggy-Tops is an isolated house, old and half-ruined, set halfway up a steep cliff in a district honeycombed with underground passages — like Smuggler's Top (Five Go to Smuggler's Top, which was published a year later, in 1945) in some respects. Aunt Polly, who looks "tired and faded," is over-worked and struggles to make ends meet, causing her to be sour-tempered. Her husband is a Quentin-like figure — an absent-minded historian who spends most of his time working in his study, even forgetting about meals. There is also a handyman-servant named Jo-Jo, a bad-tempered, sullen character with "rolling eyes." He is one of the few black characters to be found in Blyton and comes across as something of a caricature at first, full of superstitious tales of bad "things" wandering about at night. However, his seeming simple-mindedness is all an act to prevent people from seeing him for what he really is — a clever, scheming villain.
