Enid Blyton’s The Faraway Tree Series—comprising The Enchanted Wood, The Magic Faraway Tree, and The Folk of the Faraway Tree—follows siblings Jo, Bessie, and Fanny, later joined by their cousin Dick and friend Connie, as they discover a magical world hidden within the Enchanted Wood. At the heart of this world stands the enormous Faraway Tree, home to a host of delightful and eccentric characters, including Moon-Face, Silky the Fairy, the Saucepan Man, and Dame Washalot. At the top of the tree, ever-changing lands appear, each filled with adventure, wonder, and occasional danger—from the Land of Toys and the Land of Dreams to the Land of Enchantments. The children’s kindness, bravery, and friendship help them overcome challenges and aid their magical companions. Through humor, imagination, and gentle moral lessons, Blyton celebrates curiosity, courage, and the joy of discovery. The series endures as a timeless tale of childhood wonder, exploring the boundless possibilities of friendship and the power of believing in magic.
