Magic Faraway Tree Set (4 book set)

Product Information

The children capture the gnome and during the chase end up at the Magic Faraway Tree, "the oldest and most magic tree in the world".

Enid Blyton wrote these books in the late 1930s and early 1940s so understand that times were a lot different back then. Wheeler was the faithful soul who originally illustrated these books and she is a very well regarded Enid Blyton artist. Dick and the girls go up the tree again to join Jo, Moon-Face, Saucepan and Silky and then things go from bad to worse.In 1948, the first part of Up The Faraway Tree was published in Sunny Stories Magazine in picture-strip form.

Join the children they explore the most magical of all fairytale worlds in the three original Magic Faraway Tree novels by bestselling author, Enid Blyton. Over the years, the Faraway Tree stories have been illustrated by various artists including Dorothy Wheeler, Rene Cloke, Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone and Georgina Hargreaves. I don't remember very much of it (I fear I may not really have been paying attention), but there is one incident that stuck in my memory.It's a table soaring skyward with the children squeezed on it followed by a bench bearing Moon-Face, Silky and Saucepan and if you don't believe a situation like this could take place just take a look at the Dorothy Wheeler picture.
