Fiction: Faraway Tree Collection


When I was a child, the Faraway Tree books, by Enid Blyton, were my favourites. Three stories are included in this thick volume, and each has lovely original black and white illustrations.
Kids who enjoy imaginative stories and fairy tales will be enchanted by the tales about three siblings who move to the English country in the 1930's. The children quickly discover that there is a magical tree in their forest, filled with wonderful and fantastic inhabitants. They befriend some of the folk of the faraway tree, and some amazing things begin to happen! The top of the tree ends in a ladder that goes up to a series of fantasy worlds, such as Candyland, The Land of Treats, and so on.
Children in grades two through four will love this book for its classic language, friendly characters, and wonderful creativity.
