Come on a journey full of magic and adventure! When family friend, Connie, comes to stay, neither Joe, Beth nor Frannie are very impressed. Not only is Connie quite bossy but she also refuses to believe in the Magic Faraway Tree – until she meets Moon-Face, Saucepan Man and Silky the fairy! But when the Faraway Tree starts to fade, nobody knows what’s wrong and even Connie is worried. What can they do to save it? Anything’s possible in THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE! The Faraway Tree stories have been delighting readers for over 75 years. Look out for the other titles in The Magic Faraway Tree series: The Magic Faraway Tree, Folk of the Faraway Tree, and Up the Faraway Tree. Also available in beautiful deluxe editions. Look out, as well, for the Blyton Colour Reads series. Chock full of vibrant colour illustrations from Alex Paterson, these are the perfect way to introduce The Magic Faraway Tree adventures to children aged five and up. ENID BLYTON is arguably the most famous children’s author of all time, thanks to series such as The Magic Faraway Tree, The Wishing-Chair series, The Mysteries, Famous Five and The Secret Seven. Her fantasy books, particularly The Magic Faraway Tree are among her most popular creations and they promise to enchant boys and girls for generations to come. Enid Blyton takes her place alongside Roald Dahl, Beatrix Potter, and A. A. Milne as one of Britain’s true heritage children’s authors. She remains one of the world’s best-loved storytellers and is consistently voted a children’s favourite in reader polls.

This is a really funny book, the characters are cute and I enjoy listening on my Yoto, there are 3 in the set and I have read all of the. And again they are one of my favourites as it’s all adventures in the woods and reminds me of where I live!

This is one of my favourite books. I loved it when they were resourceful when they met with any problems and helped each other. I love the slippery-slip!
Recommend it.

It wasn't as good as I remember from childhood but a nice way to remember the characters.

There are 3 children and there cousin called conny came and had adventures up the faraway tree. Later in the book the faraway tree starts to die because gnomes were digging its roots from underground but the children saved the tree.

My favourite character was Connie. She is one of the characters who climbed the tree. I like this story and I recommend this book to people who are intrested in magic.

I found the book really interesting and adventurous, I think ‘Silky’ was definitely my favourite at the end because she was really good at coming up with ideas and I would definitely recommend it to someone else.

This book was really great. I liked how Connie was a bit mean and unkind when she came to visit but then became nice at the end.

It was amazing

I liked it when they met Saucepan’s mummy.

The folk of the faraway tree is a fiction book. I like Beth the best because she doesn't complain or moan and groan if something goes wrong. Connie is always so curious about things and she is very nosey. No one really likes Connie, though she does likes Moon-Face because he rescued Connie from the ladder that no top. I would recommend this book to somebody else because I enjoyed reading the book so other people might like reading this book.

I like Joe because I like it when he speaks in the story. I like it if they get into trouble & have to figure out how to get back to the faraway tree.

21 Aug 2023

Its really magical and exciting.

16 Aug 2023

I thought it was funny how the saucepan man could never hear what anyone was saying and moonface's slide seems very cool.

12 Aug 2023

I really like it - perhaps not the old fashioned way they spoke. My favourite character was Saucepan because when someone says something, he thinks it’s something that rhymes with that.

My favourite character is Saucepan Man because he mishears everything they say and says funny things. My favourite land that came to the top of the Faraway Tree was The Land of Treats.
