Posted on January 9, 2026 by Fiona

This film feels as if it’s been in the works for years but we know now that it will be released in March this year. The trailer came out at the end of last month and although it’s only about … Continue reading →

Happy New Year! For the first time in years none of us were ill over the Christmas break so I’m taking that as a serious win. Being January it’s now time for me to look back at the previous year … Continue reading →

Monday #600

Posted on October 7, 2024 by Fiona

I wanted to lead with some sort of exclamation of how can it be 600 weeks since I started this blog? But the maths just isn’t mathing there. It’ll be 12 years in around 4 weeks, so it should be more like … Continue reading →

Posted on October 10, 2022 by Fiona

It feels like I was just writing my last (and lighthouse themed) Monday post but it was in fact a week ago. I haven’t visited any exciting places since then, but it’s the first of two weeks school holidays now, … Continue reading →

The Magic Faraway Tree: A New Adventure by Jacqueline Wilson

Posted on August 7, 2022 by Fiona

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 →

My favourite Blyton covers part three

Posted on July 27, 2022 by Fiona

I have already written two posts about my favourite covers, but as there are so many good ones I am back with a third. This time I’m going to look exclusively at the wrap-around kind of dustjacket. I have shown … Continue reading →

Jacqueline Wilson Vs Enid Blyton

Posted on January 19, 2022 by Fiona

Six months ago, though it feels like less than that, I wrote about English Heritage vs Enid Blyton. The furore that time was over English Heritage updating their website to mention some criticisms of Blyton’s writing. I found the update … Continue reading →

Even more of Enid Blyton’s Christmas stories

Posted on December 15, 2021 by Fiona

Blyton wrote so many stories that it’s hardly surprising many of them were Christmas stories. I have, in the past, written a series of posts covering as much of her Christmas output as I could – covering 1920-1945, 1946-1950 and … Continue reading →

The Magic Faraway Tree covers through the years

Posted on March 17, 2021 by Fiona

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

Posted on November 11, 2020 by Fiona

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 →

The Magic Faraway Tree, part 4

Posted on May 9, 2018 by Fiona

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

Posted on March 21, 2018 by Fiona

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 Magic Faraway Tree review by Laura

Posted on August 13, 2014 by worldofblyton

It’s a cold winter’s day here and going out into the freezing wind isn’t very appealing, so it seems like a good time to re-read The Magic Faraway Tree, which is the second book in the Faraway Tree series (published … Continue reading →

A week of Blyton buys

Posted on October 13, 2013 by Fiona

As I’m sure we’ve mentioned a few times Stef’s up in Dundee staying with me and we’ve packed as much Blytonian stuff into our week as possible, which has included a bit of shopping. On Tuesday we made a trip … Continue reading →

The Magic of the Faraway Tree

Posted on December 16, 2012 by worldofblyton

by Corinna When I joined the Enid Blyton Society in 2011 and started posting (albeit most infrequently!) on the forums I chose “Faraway_Tree” as my forum name for two reasons. The first reason was that I wanted “Shadow” as some … Continue reading →
