About this listen

 The first enchanting story in the Magic Faraway Tree series by Enid Blyton, the world's best-loved storyteller - read by Kate Winslet.

Joe, Beth and Frannie find the Enchanted Wood on the doorstep of their new home, and when they discover the Faraway Tree they fall into all sorts of adventures!

Join them and their friends Moonface, Saucepan Man and Silky the fairy as they discover which new land is at the top of the Faraway Tree. Will it be the Land of Spells, the Land of Treats, or the Land of Do-As-You-Please? Discover the magic!

This recording follows the original text, first published in 1939. It does not contain the following chapters, which were first written for Enid Blyton's Omnibus! published in 1952, and later inserted into some editions of The Enchanted Wood:

Up to the Land of Toys
They get into trouble
Mr Oom-Boom-Boom
In Santa Claus's Castle

Me and my son always listen to this in the car or before bedtime. It is an old favourite of mine and I’m so happy I got to share the joy of this book with my little kindie. The narration was beautiful and really makes you imagine the images that would be in a movie. Thank you for this wonderful book.

Wonderful

My Grandson and I so enjoyed this narration. We listened on the way to and from kinder ... we listened while he was eating lunch at Nanas and we listened at bedtime ... all at his request . He could not get enough of "The Enchanted Wood." Thank you so much for making a book I loved as a child available to a new generation. I loved too that this is not a video and so required careful focus and imagination - which he was more than happy to do. He is 5 but I think that I in my 70s' enjoyed the magic of Enid Blyton just as much. Sadly there were no more audiobooks for the next in the series... Please do some more

Pace and narration perfect - fires the imagination
