It never seemed strange that she didn't notice they would sneak out or that they spent most of their time up an enchanted tree. I was hoping for more substance in this book and it explains why I never remembered anything that happened. It never bothers me that their mother doesn't question why Moon-Face looks the way he does or how a squirrel can talk.

Given the recent furore over rewriting Roald Dahl, I wonder if we'll ever get justice for the Faraway Tree? Despite enjoying Moon face, Joe, Beth and Fannie are not interesting characters to follow, nor are the lands they visit given enough feeling to make it worth it. These stories are true classics and have been enjoyed by children for the longest time all around the world. Please note that some countries may charge the recipient duties on the 'import' of parcels from time-to-time. The collection includes classic stories like The Magic Tree Faraway Tree, The Folk of the Faraway Tree, and The Enchanted Wood.Enid Blyton may well be responsible for me trying to end each chapter of my novels with a cliffhanger - she does it so well and I've lost count of the number of times my son begged me for, 'just one more chapter, mummy! I can still clearly see the picture of the discomfited-looking child holding the cone, with a fish's tail poking out of the scoop of ice-cream. I read this a long long time ago, I think when I was in the first or second grade in primary school!

A ladder at the top of the tree leads to a hole in the cloud where each land rests so they just climb it and Hey Presto! I will always know Enid Blyton as the author whose name is written so unclear on the books, to my non-English eyes, it could be read as Enicl, Gnid, or Enid. It's filled with the kind of adventures you long for as a child, even adult me would love to climb the Faraway Tree! I started of trying to read it to my kids but they are still learning the kind of patience needed for sitting still and listening to mommy read.After climbing past all of these doorways, the children come to the top of the tree where there is a ladder up into the clouds. The Magic Faraway Tree Collection is a magical box-set, which includes some of the most amazing stories penned down by Enid Blyton. Obviously Golliwogs have been removed, however I read a few years ago that Dame Slap was considered problematic so not sure if she is still about. The children often enter the wood to climb this Faraway Tree right up to where the Fairy-Tale places are and one place they visited was Rocking Land and it was rather unpleasant because whilst you are there the ground tips up and sideways and you keep falling over.

One day they discover a tree which seems larger than the others and decide to climb it, uncovering a host of magical people and creatures that actually live in between the branches in cosy little homes. These lands can either be fantastic like the land of Take-What-You-Want or horrible like the land of Slaps. Next day they are off to the Enchanted Wood and Dick hears the leaves on the trees making a soft sound in the breeze — "Wisha, Wisha, Wisha! For the 1% of you who don't know, Jo, Bessie, and Fanny (yes this is the non PC edition) move from the city to the country with their parents. They know right away that it is enchanted when they hear the trees murmuring to each other, "wisha-wisha-wisha", and determine to explore it at their first opportunity.The first title of the main trilogy, The Enchanted Wood, was published in 1939, although the Faraway Tree and Moon-Face had already made a brief appearance in 1936 in The Yellow Fairy Book.

Sometimes we all just need a little bit of magic and this book always has a way of giving me what I need. When a land is due to leave its position over the tree and head for faraway places a cold wind begins to blow. There are no in-depth plots, it is just one adventure after another, no slow character build-ups, just in your face - these are the characters, now let's go. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic.Jo, Bessie and Fanny's mother is very understanding of the children's relationship with their friends in the wood and is quite happy to let Jo stay the night with Moon-Face although she expects him back the next day because he has his share of the chores — as they all do. I love Enid blyton books and even today when I re-read all of her stories, it takes me back to my childhood days <3 which is the only reason re-read them at time.
