The Enchanted Wood is fun and delightful. I had a great time revising some of my favourite childhood memories even though they’ve been given an unnecessary makeover. PC weirdness aside this is still a fun, enchanting read. I was surprised to discover some odd changes in the book such as changing the characters names (Fanny has now become Frannie) for some bizarre reason. I was a rabid fan of Enid Blyton when I was a child. I believe this was the first, or one of the first books I ever read. All their lives they had lived in a town, but now their father had a job in the country, so they were all to move as soon as they possibly could. There were once three children, called Joe, Beth and Frannie. Will it be the Land of Spells, the Land of Treats, or the Land of Do-As-You-Please? Come on an amazing adventure! Join them and their friends Moonface, Saucepan Man and Silky the fairy as they discover which new land is at the top of the Faraway Tree. Joe, Beth and Frannie find the Enchanted Wood on the doorstep of their new home, and when they discover the Faraway Tree they fall into all sorts of adventures! The first magical story in the Faraway Tree series. The category is ‘a book you loved as a child’. I read this for 2017 Popsugar Reading Challenge. Published 2 July 2015 (first published 1939)
