The titles in the series are The Enchanted Wood (1939), The Magic Faraway Tree (1943), The Folk of the Faraway Tree (1946) and Up the Faraway Tree (1951).

The Faraway Tree is a series of three novels (and one picture-strip book) by British children's author Enid Blyton. Once there were two children called Robin and Joy." This is how the fourth of the Faraway Tree series begins in Sunny Stories of July 23rd, 1948. It was in picture-strip form and there were four panels per issue. Due to the popularity of the previous Faraway Tree tales it was fairly obvious that Up the Faraway Tree might also be welcomed as a dedicated book and this took place in 1951. Because of the format the book might not be classed on par with the first three Faraway Tree volumes but that's purely a matter of how you see it. Robin and Joy initially distance the theme by a factor of one and viewed as a whole it might even be considered as a story within a story. The bonus is that the reader is inundated with a host of the lovely Dorothy Wheeler pictures and who could complain about that?According to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare. The Old Woman who Lives in a Shoe has her own land, and at one point she takes up residence in Moon-Face's rooms while he's temporarily away.

The four books that make up Blyton’s children’s series – The Enchanted Wood, The Magic Faraway Tree, The Folk of Faraway Tree and Up the Faraway tree – were penned between 1939 and 1951. Yet 60 years on, the tales of Jo, Bessie and Fanny and the quirkily named collection of fantastical treetop friends, such as Moon-Face, Mister Watzisname, Silky and the Saucepan Man, have remained consistently popular with children around the world. The stories take place in an enchanted wood in which a gigantic magical tree grows – the eponymous 'Faraway Tree'. The tree is so tall that its topmost branches reach into the clouds and it is wide enough to contain small houses carved into its trunk. The wood and the tree are discovered by three children who move into a house nearby. They befriend many of the residents and have adventures in magical lands that visit the top of the tree.

Entire passages of the original have been rewritten to remove references to fighting. For instance, when the tree is taken over by Goblins in The Enchanted Wood, the Goblins were originally fought off, with descriptions of Mr. Watzisname 'pummelling them as if he were beating carpets' and the Saucepan Man throwing his saucepans at them. These have been replaced with cursory references to 'chasing'. Rhymes on a Dime: The Saucepan Man had tendencies to randomly break out in rhyming songs, for no reasons whatsoever. Dame Slap, who runs a school for bad pixies which, in some of the adventures, the friends accidentally land in. Her name has been updated in later revisions of the book to Dame Snap. Saucepan joins up with them again in their next foray and as he's very prone to accidents there is a need to visit the Land of Magic to put right something that has happened to him. Poor old Saucepan Man — things go from bad to worse and the picture-panels with the couple of lines of script under them show us exactly what happens to the unfortunate individual. The picture-story moves on with visits to more lands and at one stage Moon-Face's little house is invaded by some horrible people from the Land of Quarrels. The next place to arrive above the Faraway Tree is Toyland which brings plenty of excitement and a little problem involving a couple of straying dolls. Eventually the book ends with a perfectly marvelous land where everyone indulges. Indulges in what? You will find out when you get hold of this fourth and last book in the Faraway Tree collection although there is further Faraway Tree adventure which isn't classed as a separate book not that it couldn't be in this day and age because even single Enid Blyton stories are appearing as mini-novels for young readers.

The Saucepan Man mishearing what people say, because he's a little deaf from the clashing of the various pots and pants he keeps strung about his person. The Faraway Tree film is just one of numerous recent projects reviving Enid Blyton’s vast and much-loved canon of work for a modern audience, part of a long-term project by Hachette to “catapult Enid Blyton into contemporary society”.British Weather: Averted, the children seem to be blessed with mostly sunny and beautiful weather. Maybe because they live near an enchanted forest?. The Enchanted Wood (1939), The Magic Faraway Tree (1943) and The Folk of the Faraway Tree (1946) are the original Faraway Tree books written by Enid Blyton. In 1952 she altered an earlier book, originally called The Yellow Fairy Book (1936), to make it part of the Faraway Tree world. It is now published as The Magic Faraway Tree: Adventure of the Goblin Dog. The text of all these books was reviewed and minor editorial amendments were made where necessary (to correct errors, and to bring the text in line with our editorial standards as described above) when the books were first published by Hodder Children’s Books in 2020-21. The Enchanted Wood, The Magic Faraway Tree, The Folk of The Faraway Tree, The Wishing Chair Again and Up The Faraway Tree Tomboy and Girly Girl: It's very subtle, but Fanny seems to be more of a Tomboy, and Bessie is more of a Girly Girl.
