Monday #496
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
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
Jacqueline Wilson Vs Enid Blyton
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
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

I hope you all managed to have some fun over Christmas even if it wasn’t the sort of Christmas you hoped for. Our guide to ‘like Blyton’ for grown-ups and Cunningham and Petrov: The Mystery of the Missing Agent chapter … 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 Magic Faraway Tree review by Laura
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

The Magic of the Faraway Tree
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
