Foreign Titles. German: Geheimnis um einen nachtlichen Brand. French: Le Myst. Fatty, Larry, Daisy, Bets, Pip, and Buster the dog, set about trying to solve this exciting mystery of who burnt down Mr Hicks' cottage workshop in his garden. They make lists of suspects they want to interview and try and find as many clues as they can, whilst trying to avoid the wrath of the village policeman, Mr Goon, who the children nickname 'old Clear Orf.' Will they manage to solve the Mystery of the Burnt Cottage before Mr Goon does? Full Reviews (These may contain spoilers): David Cook's Review. This first story is very much a scene setter, putting into motion characters and processes that would evolve and reoccur throughout the series. Unlike many future volumes this story starts with the major crime incident that the story is about, the firing of Mr. Hick's cottage workroom and we are introduced to our future band of detectives and their main ongoing rival and protagonist as efforts are made to quell the conflagration. Larry Daykin spots the fire to the west of the village from his bedroom window as he is preparing to go to bed. As his parents are out, he and his sister Daisy are free to get dressed and go and investigate. En route down their lane they pass another house from which they are joined by their contemporary Pip Hilton and his sister Bets who is four years younger. As the Hilton parents are quite strict about letting their children out we must assume they too are out for the evening. Arriving with several other villagers at the fire scene they discover that as the nearest fire engine is in the next village the fire has taken an unassailable hold on the cottage. Goon the village policeman leading the fire fighting efforts greets them with his usual cry of . The dog's owner who is 'plump, well- dressed and rather pleased with himself' and has an 'effected drawling' voice is trying to throw pails of water on the fire. His aim is not good and Larry gets partially soaked, though as we soon learn this inaccuracy is out of character. Mr. Hick arrives in his chauffeured car from the railway station and the London train in time to see his cottage collapse and has to be restrained from entering the conflagration to rescue his priceless old documents. He then asks Goon to clear spectators from his garden and the four children leave followed by the boy (and his dog) who asks to join them the following day. Perhaps surprisingly the four children are not initially keen to have the company of the boy who would later become their much admired leader. Pip had previously said of the boy, . Thinks he knows everything and has so much pocket money he doesn't know what to do with it! Daisy describes him as a 'conceited fat creature' and asks, . And then only so they can enjoy Buster's company. Pip tells the other three that he has heard from a source Enid never reveals that the fire was arson and that insurance investigators have already discovered petrol was used. The boy arrives ostensibly looking for his dog — we never learn whether he deliberately sent Buster on ahead to inveigle himself into the company of the others — just in time to hear Daisy propose that they become detectives and find out who deliberately fired the cottage. Bets is upset that they don't intend to include her and for the first of many times the fat boy sticks up for her and suggests they all belong including Buster who may have the qualities of a bloodhound. He introduces himself as Frederick Algernon Trotteville and with those initials is immediately dubbed 'Fatty'. When Larry agrees to Fatty's proposal Bets names them 'The Five Find- Outers and Dog' to much mirth, but when Fatty proposes to take charge Larry tells him the others are not so stupid as to see what a 'very good opinion' he has of himself. Fatty is very much on trial. Fatty has arrived with information. He is staying with his parents at the inn opposite Mr. Hick's house and on the afternoon of the fire saw an old tramp in Mr. He has also heard, presumably from the customers at the inn that Mr. Hick is known locally for his bad- tempered attitude to people. Quite why the Trotteville's are staying at the inn is unclear. Fatty's parents — who don't actually appear in this story or the next one — go out every day to plat golf and leave Fatty alone, hence the boy's wish to join in with the others. Whether they are on holiday — the story is set in the Easter holidays — or waiting for a house to become available in Peterswood we are not presently told. At the start of the next book Enid tells us that Fatty's parents enjoyed their Easter stay in Peterswood so much that they then bought a house and much later on in the series when Fatty wants information on places in Peterswood he asks his mother as she has lived in Peterswood for many years. Perhaps we should assume that Mrs. Trotteville brought her husband and son back to see the village she grew up in. After lunch the Find- Outers reconvene at Pip's house and gather in the Summerhouse at the top of the garden, which becomes their first headquarters. It has a loose board in the wall where they later keep their accumulated evidence. They establish their intentions and then go off to visit the crime scene. The reason for Bets' comparatively young age in relation to the others is explained as Enid uses her naivety to explain to her readers the meaning of detectives, insurance, finding clues and interviewing suspects. The latter are to include the tramp, Mrs. Minns the cook who helped the fire fighting by filling the pails of water, and Mr. Hick's manservant/valet who was sacked that day. Mr. Hick's garden has been trampled but the children discover where someone has stamped down nettles in the perimeter ditch and forced their way through the hedge leaving clear footprints beyond. A scrap of grey cloth is also found by Fatty and he does an accurate drawing of one of the footprints. Unfortunately he boasts about this and annoys the others. In these early stories Enid portrays these habits of Fatty's as unprepossessing but in later books she almost makes them virtuous. The four elder children interview Mrs. Minns and Thomas the chauffeur and Enid starts to have fun. We learn of a fourth suspect and elderly rival historian to Mr. Hick with the unlikely name of Mr. Hick shouts from a window wielding a tea cup and is dubbed 'Hiccup'. Then Enid finds humour in rheumatism of all things. Minns couldn't have fired the cottage as she was 'stuck' in her chair with rheumatism, and later Bets banished to walking Buster describes (with beautiful observation on Enid's part) how the dog 'walks stiffly.. Minns by sticking up for Horace Peeks the sacked valet despite receiving a scolding. She even asks the Find- Outers to post a letter to him warning him he's suspected of the crime. The Find- Outers seek out all their suspects to check their alibis and to try to find if any of them own a shoe to match the footprints they've found. On each occasion they encounter Clear Orf and Enid builds up his character. When they rush off after the tramp Bets and Buster find Goon appears on the scene and his anger manifests itself in his red face and heavy breathing. When he turns up in Mrs. Minns' kitchen we learn he has bulging pale blue eyes. The description is reiterated when the Find- Outers interview Horace Peeks whose own bulging pale blue eyes are described as being like Goon's! Goon also get involved in events that almost become rituals throughout the series. Fatty's bruising fall from a hayrick distracts Goon from pursuing the suspect tramp. Cycling back from Peek's house, the Find- Outers crash into Goon and knock him off his bike and later Goon turns up at an awkward moment when Larry and Fatty try to return Mr. Smellie's shoe. All their endeavours lead the Find- Outers to discover that three of their suspects were indeed in Mr. Hick's garden on the evening of the fire. The tramp was lurking to try and steal eggs from Mr. Hick's henhouse, Horace Peeks had returned with Lily, with whom he is secretly 'walking out' to collect all his things that he had left when he was hastily ejected from the premises by Mr. Smellie had slipped into the house to retrieve papers he had inadvertently left there through quarrelling with Mr. But there is no firm evidence linking any of them with the footprints or the scrap of grey cloth. Stumped, the Find- Outers go off for a bike ride (where did Fatty get his?) and for the first time Enid takes them to a real place, Burnham Beeches. Bets is deemed too young to go and Fatty lets her walk Buster again. In typical Fatty style he promises to reward Bets with a bunch of primroses. On this riverside walk Bets and Buster discover more impressions of the shoe the Find- Outers are seeking.
