Reviews - Enid Blyton the Faraway Tree Collection

Best book in the WORLD.

I love these stories, I want a Faraway Tree. I want weird coloured chickens and exploding toffee.

This time round though... In the first book Joe and Co go up the tree and Joe is a bit mean. Nasty streak in that boy.

Didn't care for him much, Frannie cries all the time and middle child Beth is the best of the lot.

Should never be made into a film unless Tim Burton directs.

One of my favourite children's books, I read this over and over again and wished I was part of a world with a magical tree and adventures in it.

This gave me an even wider imagination and I throughly recommend it to any parent giving it to their kids or even just to read themselves for old times sake!

I'm not sure what the draw is to this collection... unless it is simply nostalgia. Visiting them as an adult I found them tedious and redundant. I read them with my eight-year-old and while she enjoyed listening, didn't beg for more.
