I meant to say the book series The Famous Five by Enid Blyton instead of just Five.

With Thomas Hardy, he created a mythical Wessex in his novels, where places in there would be similar to actual places in Wessex. Some of these places include: Weymouth, which was called Budmouth in his novels, Dorchester, which was renamed as Casterbridge and is the main location for his novel The Mayor of Casterbdridge.
