Representaion In Pursuance Of Books The Faraway Tree Stories (The Faraway Tree #1-3)
I never much liked Enid Blyton when I was a kid, but this one got read out to us aloud sometime in second grade so I had no choice. I don't remember very much of it (I fear I may not really have been paying attention), but there is one incident that stuck in my memory. The kids have found this magical ice-cream vendor who can give you absolutely any flavour you want. All but one of them do the sensible thing and just request their favourite kind. But the smart-ass in the group decides to test the limits of the system, and asks for a sardine ice-cream. And, sure enough, he gets it, and very unpleasant it is too. I can still clearly see the picture of the discomfited-looking child holding the cone, with a fish's tail poking out of the scoop of ice-cream. No doubt the episode resonated with me because I'm also a smart-ass.The rest of this review is available elsewhere (the location cannot be given for Goodreads policy reasons)

I find it hard to find an aspect of the Faraway Tree Stories that I can hate or dislike, these were the stories I begun reading for myself at the age of nine, and ever since I have made a habit of returning to them at least once a year never wanting to forget the magic of the stories and how they became such a large part of my childhood. Who could forget the Land of Spells or the Land of Do-As-You-Please or The Land of Take-What-You-Want? Those being just a few of my most loved lands atop theI adored the Faraway Tree stories when I was a kid and still do, but caveat emptor, make sure you check the version you're buying. This particular edition has been bowdlerised to pieces. The episode where the children land in Dame Slap's school which terrified and thrilled me as a wee 'un is now unrecognisable. Here's how Dame Slap originally dealt with her pupils:She frowned. Twinkle, come here! she said. A small pixie walked up to her.Haven't I told you to brush your hair properly for
This book is brilliant. Children's fantasy at its' best. I loved listening to the audio tape of this when i was a small child and i love it just as much now. It's just so quirky, fun and magical. Moonface, the saucepan man, silky the fairy, the magical worlds in the cloud at the top of the tree. It's all so enchanting. I think the faraway tree stories are fantastically good fun.

As I kid I would devour any book written by Enid Blyton. I remember my most favourite series is this Faraway series. The concept of a tree taking you off to faraway magical lands is clever, captivating and original. The lands are scary and funny. This was my first introduction to books full of magic. A must read for kids (or people) who like magic!
This is an enchanting story that lets children's imaginations run wild. I love all of the different characters and the many adventures that they encounter. I believe that the book confronts a range of issues specifically involving family bonds as well as different issues involving being different.
A great series of books! Very adventurous allowing children to expand their imagination and build on their creativity. These books touch on individual character differences and different, diverse worlds. The characters in the book are faced with exciting adventures that teach them how to grow as individuals.
These were amongst my favourite stories when I was little. The children, Moon Face and Silky go on adventures to different worlds that are at the top of the far away tree. The worlds change frequently and their adventures are delightful. The characters of the tree are brilliant and I can't wait to read these to my son. I think I enjoyed reading them until I was 9 or so.
