THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE: THE ENCHANTED WOOD

Good book

An awesome book for kids especially those who have started reading independently. Kids get glued to the book..kudos to Enid Blyton's style of story telling..in a very simple language.And this special deluxe hard cover edition by Egmont which has color illustrations makes the book very special to kids and is a good collectible item. My son finished it in just 2 days !Recommend age : 8+Not recommended for read aloud, let the kids devour it !This review is for Deluxe Edition by Egomont (ISBN 978-1405276658 ).

Once upon time, somewhere around the 1980s there was a child who was fascinated with books. These things smelt great and had all sorts of tiny shapes arranged in neat rows. The childed opened several of these. Some had pictures and colours and some just had unending rows of these tiny shapes and some had both.The child knew, even at that young age, that behind these tiny figures and shapes were secrets that were waiting to be unlocked and these things called books were precious because the parents were so careful with them.A few years later, the child realised that these shapes were called letters and adding these letters gave words and adding these words gave sentences. When the child could finally unlock sentences that were long enough, the child got hold of three books that talked about a forest with trees that talked and clouds that held strange lands. The child was in love with these books and the stories they held and the memories they created.Even now, the child still has the books, and recommends these books to parents of 6 to 8 year olds that who want to get their children hooked to reading. Except the child is now well into the 30s. But then, age is just a number. Once you open the pages of these books, no matter what number your age is, you travel back in time when you ran around trees, and felt grass between your toes and the enjoyed the anticipation of summer vacations and homemade sherbets.

"So they went home once more, through the Enchanted Wood, with the moon shining pale and cold between the tree"It's a soothing read, a book of good feelings. Review to come.

A nice book for kids I suppose not for a 42-year-old like me! lol! But anyways I liked it and I want to read more sort of books which I wanted to read but never did, which will help me get back into reading. I recommend this book. It's well written, a classic and Enid Blyton is and was a lengendary children's author.

The earlier version without the crazy changes is back...this and few other books by the publisher have retained the older version. Please Please please bring back all the books in faraway tree series and the other series on the same lines. Truly appreciate it.

This book is for young reader probably below 16 years. But, I find it excellent for people of any age. I enjoyed reading it, and it took to your childhood memory and imagination.In my view, this book is useful for parents and children — my strong recommendation. Happy reading.

My 6 years old daughted just loved the book. It was her perfect bedtime story for many nights. She loved every character, every plot and never aloowed us skip a night without reading it.
