A closer look at the second Magic Faraway Tree film trailer
In December we got the first trailer for the new film which you can watch below: And I wrote rather a lot explaining it, though it was under 3 minutes. Then a couple of weeks ago another one came out. … Continue reading

It’s December! Elf has returned to wreak havoc and I realise that I haven’t put together my yearly Enid Blyton gift guide. I aim to fix that oversight this week – and get on with my Christmas shopping too. Enid … Continue reading

Lifting the flap on two new “Enid Blyton” books
While in the children’s department of the library a few weeks ago a new delivery of books came in and amongst them were two books I’d never seen – or even heard of – before with the name Enid Blyton … Continue reading

The Faraway Tree on the Nintendo DS
Christmas 2020 I got a Nintendo DS game of the Adventure Series which I reviewed here. Although it wasn’t brilliant I think the DS games are interesting, and are a rare example of Blyton’s works being adapted as video games with … Continue reading
The Magic Faraway Tree: A New Adventure by Jacqueline Wilson
I finished the book earlier in the week, so finally I have finished the review! The style and setting I think the first thing I will say is that Jacqueline Wilson does not attempt to mimic Blyton’s writing style. This … Continue reading
The Magic Faraway Tree covers through the years
I was looking for something reasonably un-taxing to write this week, and decided that as the Faraway Tree series only has three books (well, four if you include Up the Faraway Tree which is a different format, but even so … Continue reading
Lego Blyton: The Magic Faraway Tree and The Wishing Chair
During lockdown (the first one if you’re in England, the only one so far if you’re in Scotland) I did some Blyton-themed Lego builds. I’ve already shared Five On a Treasure Island, Five On a Hike Together and an entirely … Continue reading

A little later in the day than planned, but it’s still Monday at least. February round up and Letters to Enid 19 The Magic Faraway Tree is getting a new installment next month, written by Jeanne Willis. It is called … Continue reading
Enid Blyton, praise and criticism part 3: The Ultimate First Book Guide
The Ultimate First Book Guide claims to contain over 500 great books for 0-7s. This might be dangerous for me as I will probably see lots of things I will want to read, I really enjoy going back and reading popular children’s … Continue reading
2018 birthday and Christmas present round up
As always I got spoiled for my birthday and Christmas. Every year my nearest and dearest manage to come up with something Blyton-y to give me, so here’s what they did this year. 1. Enid Blyton t-shirt How often do … Continue reading

A completely un-confusing guide to names in Blyton’s books, part 2
Last time we clarified which Jack, or indeed Jock, was which, we covered the difference between Morgan, Dai and Llewellyn and Morgan, Dai and Llewellyn, and we made sure we knew our great-grandad from our old grandads. Now for some … Continue reading

The Magic Faraway Tree, part 4
Last time we ended on a minor cliff-hanger. The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe had stopped living in her shoe and had taken up residence in Moon-Face’s home instead. Obviously that just wouldn’t do so we can now … Continue reading
The Magic Faraway Tree, part 3
The last chapter I read ended after they returned from the weirdly wonderful Land of Dreams. I wonder where they will be off to next! THE LAND OF TOYS In another random moment of the tree having a schedule the … Continue reading
The Magic Faraway Tree, part 2
We left Jo, Silky and the others in The Land of Spells last time – he had just been turned the right way up. MOON-FACE (AND OTHERS) IN WONDERLAND The next disaster, which perhaps borrows a little from Alice in Wonderland, … Continue reading
The Magic Faraway Tree
Having finally read the first book in the series, I figures I should just crack on with the second! That raises a minor point though, what’s the series called? The Enchanted Wood series, or The Faraway Tree series. Both are … Continue reading
The Enchanted Wood, part 3
I’m only just over half way through the book (57% according to Goodreads) and I’ve already written two posts! There is just a lot to write about between all the characters, new lands and crazy adventures. I’m sure there will … Continue reading
The Enchanted Wood, part 2
So here we are, ready to see what lands the children will visit and what other strange characters they will meet. THE FIRST LAND AND THE SLIPPERY-SLIP Arriving at the top of the tree the children creep through a hole … Continue reading
The Enchanted Wood
For those who are unaware – I have a shameful secret. I have never read The Enchanted Wood or any of the other Faraway Tree books. Take away my Famous Five Club badge and don’t tell me the next password … Continue reading
