THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE: THE ENCHANTED WOOD

Very nice book - ny 7yr old really enjoyed it

A classic Enid Blyton and the first in the Faraway Tree series, this charming little story book comes with illustrations that will make young readers fall in love with reading. Got the paperback version, not disappointed at all.

"So they went home once more, through the Enchanted Wood, with the moon shining pale and cold between the tree" It's a soothing read, a book of good feelings. Review to come.

One of the many book I have grown up reading . I had purchased this book to gift to my nephew , he is my fan now . Thanks to this book .

Once upon time, somewhere around the 1980s there was a child who was fascinated with books. These things smelt great and had all sorts of tiny shapes arranged in neat rows. The childed opened several of these. Some had pictures and colours and some just had unending rows of these tiny shapes and some had both. The child knew, even at that young age, that behind these tiny figures and shapes were secrets that were waiting to be unlocked and these things called books were precious because the parents were so careful with them. A few years later, the child realised that these shapes were called letters and adding these letters gave words and adding these words gave sentences. When the child could finally unlock sentences that were long enough, the child got hold of three books that talked about a forest with trees that talked and clouds that held strange lands. The child was in love with these books and the stories they held and the memories they created. Even now, the child still has the books, and recommends these books to parents of 6 to 8 year olds that who want to get their children hooked to reading. Except the child is now well into the 30s. But then, age is just a number. Once you open the pages of these books, no matter what number your age is, you travel back in time when you ran around trees, and felt grass between your toes and the enjoyed the anticipation of summer vacations and homemade sherbets.

Childhood memories

An awesome book for kids especially those who have started reading independently. Kids get glued to the book..kudos to Enid Blyton's style of story telling..in a very simple language. And this special deluxe hard cover edition by Egmont which has color illustrations makes the book very special to kids and is a good collectible item. My son finished it in just 2 days ! Recommend age : 8+ Not recommended for read aloud, let the kids devour it ! This review is for Deluxe Edition by Egomont (ISBN 978-1405276658 ).

Good book

Bought for grandchildren as read this to my children. Lovely book and good stories.

I bought this book for my 5-year old daughter, who is absolutely loving it. We also had a great experience with the seller.

We all enjoyed reading this book! Feels like a Narnia style story but for younger children and also has some humour. Would highly recommend. Looking forward to reading more of this series.

The Enchanted Wood was read aloud to a Year 2 class by their teacher. Their comments: “The best story I have ever read!” “It was very, very good.” “It was so much fun reading!”

Excellent children’s chapter book: adventure, new friends, magic all the things to intrigue a child to read. I can see my 8 yr old granddaughter reading this/having it read at bedtime.
