The Adventure Series by Enid Blyton, a prolific English children's author, is a series of eight children's novels.

These books feature the same child characters: Philip, Jack, Dinah, and Lucy-Ann, along with several adult characters. Jack's pet parrot, Kiki, is also a standard feature in each novel.

The stories show the four children off on their own, discovering and solving mysteries without much adult assistance.
