“The little island seemed to float on the dark lake-waters. Trees grew on it, and a little hill rose in the middle of it. It was a mysterious island, lonely and beautiful. All the children stood and gazed at it, loving it and longing to go to it. It looked so secret - almost magic. “Well,” said Jack at last. “What do you think? Shall we run away, and live on the secret island?” “Yes!” whispered all the children. “Let’s!” ChildrenBeautifulSecretLonelyMysteriousRunning AwayIsland Book:The Secret Island Source: The Secret Island

“The secret island had looked mysterious enough on the night they had seen it before - but now, swimming in the hot June haze, it seemed more enchanting than ever. As they drew near to it, and saw the willow trees that bent over the water-edge and heard the sharp call of moorhens that scuttled off, the children gazed in delight. Nothing but trees and birds and little wild animals. Oh, what a secret island, all for their very own, to live on and play on.” ChildrenLittlesEnoughPlayNightWaterAnimalSecretSawsHeardTreeBirdHotEdgesDelightMysteriousIslandsSwimmingBentJuneWild AnimalEnchantingHazeWillow Trees Author:Enid Blyton
