Childhood memories, rekindle…


My childhood evolved around fantasy story books, one of the best series is :

The Magic Faraway Tree series is a popular series of children’s books written by Enid Blyton.
The stories revolve around an enchanted wood where a gigantic magic
tree grows, which is discovered by three children living nearby. Every
now-and-then, at the top of the tree, a new magic land appears, which
the children can visit; but they have to leave before the land "moves
on", or they could be stuck in that land when it is replaced by a new
land at the top of the tree.

The Faraway Tree is inhabited by people who include Moonface and The Tinks, the fairy Silky, The Saucepan Man]], Dame Washalot,
Mr. Whatsisname and the Angry Pixie. The lands at the top were
sometimes extremely unpleasant (the Land of Dame Slap) or sometimes
fantastically enjoyable (the Land of Birthdays, the Land of
Take-What-You-Want).

The titles in the series are:

  1. The Enchanted Wood (1939)
  2. The Magic Faraway Tree (1943)
  3. The Folk of the Faraway Tree (1946)
  4. Up the Faraway Tree (1951)

 

   

   

 

   

This is the story of three children, Jo,
      Bessie and Fanny and their wonderful adventures in the Enchanted Wood near
      their home in the country. The Enchanted wood grows very thick trees, and
      if you listen carefully, you can hear the dark leaves saying
      "Wisha-wisha"!! And in the middle of this woods is the most enchanted tree
      in the world. A simply enormous tree! "The Magic Faraway tree" which grows every kind of fruit and has a queer fairy-folk living on
      every branch!!

      

      

Its top goes right up
      the clouds- and at the top of it there’s always some strange land. You can
      go there by climbing up the top branch of the Faraway tree, going up a
      little ladder through a hole in the big tree that always lies on the top
      of the tree- and then, you are in some peculiar land! This tree reaches
      the far-away places;sometimes witch-land, sometimes in
      lovely countries, sometimes in peculiar places no one had heard
      of!
