Review
Returning to the Enchanted Wood and the Faraway Tree, where acorns and chestnuts and cherries and apples grow side by side and you never know where you might end up if you climb to the top, it doesnt take long for siblings Joe, Beth and Frannie to find themselves knee-deep in wonder. Helping them to do so in this tale is Cousin Rick who comes to stay when his mother falls ill. Before long, they have hooked their cousin with stories of Birthday Land, Toy Land, and the weird and wonderful characters who live in and around the Faraway Tree. Theres Moon-Face, who always seems to know what awaits, Silky the Fairy and Saucepan Man, whos both deaf as a post and accident-prone, and provides some great comic moments. Magic lingers on every page, from the endless feasts and picnics to the huge market place known as the Land of Spells. Theres even a giant slide that snakes its way around and down the inside of the tree, to save the bother of climbing down when exhausted by adventuring. Things can - and do - go wrong for the young heroes of the story, theres always the possibility of ending up somewhere dangerous from where they cannot escape, and this gives the story the hint of menace thats so essential in childrens fiction. One scrape has them deciding theyve had enough adventures and they make a conscious decision to stay away. Of course, its not for long and they soon find themselves in the Land of Dreams, where muffins turn into kittens and surreal events conspire to frighten them away until theyre tempted back by the obvious attractions of the Land of Do-As-You-Please. A charming read, guaranteed to fill childrens heads with a generous dollop of good old-fashioned magic. (Kirkus UK)

My childhood books :),
By Bargain-hunter Extraordinaire (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MAGIC FARAWAY TREE (Paperback)
I read and enjoyed these books when I was a child. Even if many years have passed (i have somehow lost my copies), the stories have remained vividly on my mind. I just had to have them again! Like the other reviewer said, copies are hard to find here in the US. I got mine from Australia (Magic Faraway Tree, Folk of the Faraway Tree and Enchanted Wood). I have re-read them all, and once again brought back happy childhood memories. I will definitely read these books to my kids someday, hoping that they will enjoy it as much as I did. :)

The Faraway Tree,
By Caroline Gray (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MAGIC FARAWAY TREE (Paperback)
We bought "The Magic Faraway Tree", "The Enchanted Wood", and "The Folk of the Faraway Tree" to read to my 8 and 7 year old girls. My husband read the trilogy aloud and when he had finished, the girls begged him to read it again. So he read all 583 pages again!
