The Enchanted Wood: Book 1 (The Magic Faraway Tree)

Product Information

They all went up the last and top-most branch of the Faraway Tree. It went up, and up, through the purple hole in the cloud, at the very end of the branch, was a little ladder. Joe climbed the ladder, and suddenly, his head poked out into the Land of Topsy-Turvy Over the years, the Faraway Tree stories have been illustrated by various artists including Dorothy Wheeler, Rene Cloke, Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone and Georgina Hargreaves. Faraway Tree Books, Stories and Games takes you to the different worlds at the top of the tree too. So you'll see what it's like to be Topsy-Turvy, with policemen walking around on their hands. Or how about spending a day, in the land of toys. Or even better, the Land of Goodies, where chocolate muffins grow on trees.

Tree spirits are monsters which can be found in the Enchanted Valley using the fairy ring code B K Q when attempting to cut down a tree. Because of the common nature rune drops supplemented by drops of rune and adamant axes and various seeds, tree spirits can be good money, although not much experience will be gained. The tree spirit's combat level varies depending on that of the player's, a minimum of 14, and up to a maximum of level 159. The three children make friends with colourful characters like Moon-Face, Mister Watzisname, Silky, and the Saucepan Man, feasting with them on Pop Biscuits and Google Buns and sliding down the slippery-slip which spirals down inside the trunk. Climbing the tree involves dodging the dirty washing-water which Dame Washalot pours down the trunk at regular intervals and avoiding peeping in at the Angry Pixie, who throws things at those who poke and pry. In 1997, stories from the novels were adapted into animated ten-minute episodes for the TV series Enid Blyton's Enchanted Lands. The series, entitled Enchanted Lands: The Magic of the Faraway Tree had 13 episodes:

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. The first title of the main trilogy, The Enchanted Wood, was published in 1939, although the Faraway Tree and Moon-Face had already made a brief appearance in 1936 in The Yellow Fairy Book. A picture-strip book, Up the Faraway Tree, was published in 1951.

In one story, when the children have rescued The Saucepan Man from a fortress, in the Land of Toys, they almost don't make it. The tree is stuffed full of funny characters, like Mr. Watzisname, that's his actual name, because even he can't remember what he's called.

Panting and puffing, they raced down the streets of the Land of Toys, trying to remember where the hole was that lead down through the cloud, to the Faraway Tree. Joe remembered the way. He lead them all to the hole, and there was the ladder. Thank goodness." Jo, Bessie and Fanny come to live at the edge of the Enchanted Wood where the trees, "a darker green than usual," whisper their secrets: "Wisha-wisha-wisha."
