Product Information

They're introduced to three legendary characters who have made their presence felt via hundreds of thousands of copies of the books over the past 60+ years.

Yet in the fourth book by Blyton, Up The Faraway Tree, Silky is introduced to Robin and Joy as a pixie: ″So Joy knocked—and the door flew open, and there stood little Silky the pixie. The lands themselves vary from nice lands, like 'The Land of Birthdays' or 'The Land of Take-What-You-Want', to not so nice lands like 'The Land of Punishments' or 'The Land of Tempers'. His chair falls down the tree on top of the Saucepan Man who threatens to come up and hit out at the culprit however when he climbs up and is introduced to Robin and Joy he's all friendliness.To read more about the site or if you want a graphic to link to us, see the about page for more details. Whilst this may be a typical staple of many children’s books, this particular story from Blyton really is the pinnacle of its genre.

The Faraway Tree film is just one of numerous recent projects reviving Enid Blyton’s vast and much-loved canon of work for a modern audience, part of a long-term project by Hachette to “catapult Enid Blyton into contemporary society”. Dick (later Rick), the cousin of Jo, Bessie and Fanny, comes to stay and he joins the secret adventures in the lands of the Faraway Tree. Hair of Gold: Silky's hair is very blond and beautiful, and she's easily the sweetest person in the entire series. Squirrels are climbers whereas rabbits are burrowers but the latter have no problem with the scaling of the tree because there's plenty of magic about to allow this slight deviation from the norm.Jo, Bessie and Fanny are not surprised at all by the unexpected guests and they take them at once to the Enchanted Wood where the mysterious Faraway Tree is situated. Each fights according to their strength - Dame Washalot drenches them, the Angry Pixie lets his anger loose, Saucepan Man takes all his saucepans off and THROWS them as weapons (he's not recognized by the children when he appears without them later), Silky ties one up in her curtains, and Moon Face uses his slide (see below) as a trap to hold the subdued ones, with the lower door sealed shut. The Angry Pixie losing his temper over the most insignificant of reasons and throwing stuff at anyone inquisitive enough to peep through his window (at one point Joe only just managed to remind the Pixie that he should really be angry at the Red Goblins who'd locked him in his rooms in the first place rather than Joe who had just let him out). The characters were also known to see some cosmetic changes once again in relation to their given names. In 2023, we will publish a second new adventure set in Enid Blyton’s Magic Faraway Tree world by Jacqueline Wilson: The Magic Faraway Tree: A Christmas Adventure, also illustrated by Mark Beech.
