Interpretation Conducive To Books The Faraway Tree Stories (The Faraway Tree #1-3)
I never much liked Enid Blyton when I was a kid, but this one got read out to us aloud sometime in second grade so I had no choice. 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. The kids have found this magical ice-cream vendor who can give you absolutely any flavour you want. All but one of them do the sensible thing and just request their favourite kind. But the smart-ass in the group decides to test the limits of the system, and asks for a sardine ice-cream. And, sure enough, he gets it, and very unpleasant it is too. I can still clearly see the picture of the discomfited-looking child holding the cone, with a fish's tail poking out of the scoop of ice-cream. No doubt the episode resonated with me because I'm also a smart-ass. The rest of this review is available elsewhere (the location cannot be given for Goodreads policy reasons)

I have never met anyone in person who has read even so much as the most famous book in this trilogy 'the faraway tree' these books are amazing and I want more people to read their amazingness. The characters visit so many strange and wonderful lands and I just love it when they take new people up the tree for the first time and they get to meet everyone. This is by far Enid Blyton's best work. I read a lot of the famous five and it just doesn't compare. This is full of imagination and adventure"Like so many of us, I read this book when I was a kid. Back in the day when we used to go out and play sports on the street after school.......yes I am old.So I say to anyone, read this to your young kids, it is brilliant. Full of fantasy and adventure but really simplified. There are no in-depth plots, it is just one adventure after another, no slow character build-ups, just in your face - these are the characters, now let's go.For the 1% of you who don't know, Jo, Bessie, and Fanny (yes this
I will always know Enid Blyton as the author whose name is written so unclear on the books, to my non-English eyes, it could be read as Enicl, Gnid, or Enid. So for many many many years I never actually knew what the name really is.But also, her books are the first ever English books I read alone, and what got me into reading as a hobby. Her works helped me a lot in terms of learning English. It was accessible language, good storytelling, and fun stories. The Faraway Tree was always a favorite
A truly magical book that I have read way more than just this one time. I am pretty sure I read it multiple times a year from the first time I got my copy. Anytime I want to escape and just be free, this book is one of my go to books. The characters are so real to me even in all their fantasticness. It never bothers me that their mother doesn't question why Moon-Face looks the way he does or how a squirrel can talk. It never seemed strange that she didn't notice they would sneak out or that they

I find it hard to find an aspect of the Faraway Tree Stories that I can hate or dislike, these were the stories I begun reading for myself at the age of nine, and ever since I have made a habit of returning to them at least once a year never wanting to forget the magic of the stories and how they became such a large part of my childhood. Who could forget the Land of Spells or the Land of Do-As-You-Please or The Land of Take-What-You-Want? Those being just a few of my most loved lands atop the
A whopper of a book! Three Enid Blyton Faraway Tree stories in one edition. This series was my favourite as a child. It's magical, imaginative, exciting and scary. I re-read it this year, to my 5 year old son, and he was as enchanted as me. Enid Blyton may well be responsible for me trying to end each chapter of my novels with a cliffhanger - she does it so well and I've lost count of the number of times my son begged me for, 'just one more chapter, mummy!'
