The first book in which Blyton introduces the wood and the tree and still a fantastic read. One of the great British imaginations, a fantastic communicator. I still remember reading this one as a child and loving it and have just finished reading an abridged, cleaned-up, politically neutered version with my kids and have seen the same shock and excitement in their eyes as the story twisted and turned like the trunk of the great tree itself. Moon Face, Silky and the lands are wonderfulRereading a childhood favourite can sometimes prove hazardous. Often, what so appealed to our younger selves we later find riddled with plot holes, become distanced from the young protagonists, or find them just generally unsuited for an adult readership. For this reason I had stayed away from my once beloved Enid Blyton, for so long.The Faraway Tree series were particular favourites of mine however, and I had been hankering to revisit them for some time.

She is very much out of favor these days, but Enid Blyton's old-fashioned adventure books are still popular in many countries like India and Australia. Children still enjoy her books, while adults frown at their racism and sexism. I must admit that I devoured her books as a child, and I dont think Im any the worse for it. But quite the most enchanting books she has ever written have got to be The Faraway Tree series: The Enchanted Wood, The Magic Faraway Tree and The Folk of the Faraway Tree.

I've loved this book for nearly 18 years now and I encourage anyone, adult or child to try and find an original unedited Enid Blyton book to read. As a general review, this book is about three very close-knit siblings that work hard to complete their chores around the house and are subsequently rewarded with free time and adventures
Read this as part of 2018 Ultimate Reading Challenge, Category: "A book you were supposed to read in school but havent yet". 'It's called the Enchanted Wood,' said their father. 'People don't go there if they can help it. It's funny to hear things like this nowadays, and I don't expect there is really anything strange about the wood. But just be careful not to go too far into it, in case you get lost.' I picked this book up as it was recommended to me as an excellent read and as part of the
