There are quite a lot of different fairyland characters. Goblins, pixies, brownies, talking animals, and others who defy description. Even the trees can talk in this magical forest!
The Faraway Tree Adventure by Enid Blyton | Goodreads
When Joe, Beth and Frannie move to a new home, an enchanted wood is on their doorstep. And when they discover the Faraway Tree . . . This book follows pretty much the same formula as the previous two. Visit a land, something goes wrong, someone needs to be rescued, the children manage to escape, swear they are going to not go on any adventures for awhile and yet the do. But we always end on a nice note with a nice land to visit and this time it's the Land of Treats after the gang saves the Faraway Tree from near death. (Is there an allegory in there about mining being bad? Maybe? Who knows.) 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 It’s taken years to read this trilogy to my children and tonight we have finished the final volume. They loved the adventures of the children and the Folk of the Faraway Tree. Given that my father read it to his children, and now I’ve read it to mine, I can safely say that it’s stood the test of time! However, in re-reading with a fresh perspective, I stumbled on an uncomfortable truth. This book, like many of Enid Blyton’s works, contains problematic content. This 2007 reprint amended the most problematic and outdated references; “slapping” is now “snapping”, “Fanny” is instead “Frannie”, but the echo of the original remained.Celyn and I have completed our marathon re-read of the Faraway trilogy. The third book is, like the second, simply a collection of tree-related episodes, each fairly self-contained. This time the new child to be introduced to the tree and improved by the experience is Connie, daughter of a friend of the mother.

The person who visits Jo, Bessie, and Fanny is their mother's friend's child. The author loved not only to name stuff naughtily, she liked to write up naughty characters. Connie Haynes is one such example.

Alături de cei trei frați o găsim pe o Connie ,fetița răsfățată a unei prietene. It's also a bit odd that given access to knowalls and secret tellers who can answer literally any question they children limit themselves to things like 'the secret for growing bigger apples' and 'where I left my second best yo-yo'. This book has always been my least favourite of the original three books in this series, though that said, it is still very much a five star read.

Rereading a childhood favourite can sometimes prove hazardous. Often, what so appealed to our younger selves we later find riddled with plot holes, become distanced from the young protagonists, or find them just generally unsuited for an adult readership. For this reason I had stayed away from my once beloved Enid Blyton, for so long. The stories about the Magic Faraway Tree have been entertaining children for more than 80 years. Now these colour short stories offer a great way for young new readers to discover the adventures of Silky, Moon-Face, the Saucepan Man and all of their friends in the Enchanted Wood.

How do you think books can inspire our imagination and take us to new places, even if we can't go there?
Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken). 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. Then there's Moon-Face, who has a big round face like the moon, with a huge smile on it. Nostalgia is in itself, magic. The stories that we loved as children live on in us. Sometimes those stories fade over time, lose a little of their definition. But should you revisit fond childhood stories? That’s the question I asked myself as I began to re-read The Folk of the Faraway Tree, one of my most beloved childhood stories.

And his best friend is The Saucepan Man, who's covered in pots and kettles. Can you imagine the noise he makes when he moves around? I've always been really adventurous, so I loved reading about the incredible things that happened in this book. It's a bit like dreaming, because there's loads of magical things that go onMr 6: I would like to go to the land of get something for your Mummy. That wasn't in the book, but I would like to go to that land if it comes. Actually, I would like to go to that land where you buy things for other people so i could buy roses for you. *Kisses my forehead* I love you Mum. Three siblings and their friend, Connie, visit the wood behind their cottage, and at the center of the forest is the Faraway Tree. It is the largest tree in the world; so large that the top reaches the clouds, and at the very top the Faraway Tree connects to a magical land. But the magical connection changes every week, so that you never know which land will be at the top of the tree. It might be the Land of Birthdays where everyone gets a free birthday party. Or it might be the land of evil goblins. It might be a land that rolls and jumps with constant earthquakes. Whatever land there is, the three children and their fairy friends are sure to have a wild adventure! It wasn’t only a tree, it was a home for lots of little people and the path to strange adventures far above.” TV presenter Naomi Wilkinson reads extracts from 'The Magic Faraway Tree' by Enid Blyton (illustrated by Mark Beech).
