Description

The Enchanted Wood is the first book in Enid Blyton's Faraway Tree series. The story follows three siblings named Joe, Beth, and Frannie who move to the countryside and discover a magical forest near their new home. In the Enchanted Wood, they find the Magic Faraway Tree, which is home to various magical creatures and leads to different worlds at its top. The children explore these mysterious worlds and make magical friends in this classic adventure story.

Quick Summary

The Faraway Tree stands as a portal to magical worlds that change with each visit, and children climb alongside Beth, Joe, and Frannie into lands where anything can happen. Kids will cheer as the trio befriends Pixie, the Saucepan Man, and other wacky creatures while navigating the ever-shifting kingdoms above the clouds. If your kid likes the magic and mischief of "The Magic Tree House" series, they'll be enchanted by this British classic that predates it by decades.
