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.

Awesome stories

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

Good book

A nice book for kids I suppose not for a 42-year-old like me! lol! But anyways I liked it and I want to read more sort of books which I wanted to read but never did, which will help me get back into reading. I recommend this book. It's well written, a classic and Enid Blyton is and was a lengendary children's author.

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

I loved it as a child, and am reading it to my daughter - enjoyed it possibly even more now… what a magical journey, a feast for the imagination and food for any soul, young or old…

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.

L'histoire est palpitante pour les enfants, mon fils de cinq ans me réclame la suite. Chaque soir c'est son moment favori, il se rappelle le titre du prochain chapitre depuis la veille et attend ça avec impatiente après le brossage de dents.D'un point de vue pratique, les chapitres sont juste de la bonne longueur pour en lire un par soir, le vocabulaire est riche sans être trop soutenu (attention, pour anglophones quand même), et les aventures sont tout juste celles dont rêvent les enfants. Un arbre magique, des amis farfelus, un peu de suspens de temps en temps et l'histoire se finit toujours bien. Et l'histoire n'est pas stéréotypée "pour garçons" ou "pour filles", tous les enfants pourront s'identifier aux héros.Côté âge, mon fils 3 ans et demie écoute distraitement et aime bien les petites illustrations de temps à autre mais n'est pas aussi impliqué que son grand frère qui a deux ans de plus. Après c'est peut-être aussi une question de tempérament, donc personnellement je recommanderais à partir de 4 ou 5 ans, en fonction de chaque enfant.
