Enchanting

The Magic Faraway Tree: A New Adventure by Jacqueline Wilson is positively delightful. It is perfect for children ages eight years and over.

This book is also an absolute delight for adults who grew up reading The Faraway Tree novels by Enid Blyton. They were my favourites and I still have my copies now.

Jacqueline Wilson has kept the magic alive. She writes in a style very reminiscent of the originals. All the familiar characters are there – Moonface, Silky, Dame Washalot etc. This book transported me back through the years to my childhood. Fifty years on, and I still want to believe that somewhere out there, there is the Faraway Tree! This book is enchanting and I loved it.

I enjoyed meeting the next generation of children to climb the tree, as well as being reunited with all my old favourites.

Give yourself a real treat and buy a copy today – Or why not buy two copies, one for yourself and one for the children in your life so that they, too, can enjoy the magic found between its pages.
