Description
Discover the breathtaking magic of the enchanted wilderness in the spectacular first installment of the classic series from the world’s most celebrated storyteller, newly updated to align with the major cinematic family feature film. In this delightful tale, original siblings Joe, Beth, and Frannie are absolutely thrilled when they discover that their brand-new country home lies right on the doorstep of the mysterious Enchanted Wood. Venturing inside the thick, whispering forest, the curious children discover the monumental Magic Faraway Tree, which is no ordinary trunk.
This giant ecosystem is home to eccentric talking creatures, pixies, and magical sprites, including the friendly Moonface, the noisy Saucepan Man, and beautiful Silky the fairy. Together with their fantastic new friends, the young explorers learn to ride the massive slippery-slip slide and climb up the highest branches to reach whatever unpredictable world is visiting the top of the tree each week. Whether they end up sliding into the unpredictable Land of Spells, eating sweets in the Land of Treats, or roaming around the completely uninhibited Land of Do-As-You-Please, unforgettable adventures await them up in the clouds. This beautifully presented edition contains the original 1939 text split into short, fast-paced chapters and paired with beautiful new illustrations by Mark Beech, making it an incredibly accessible, charming entry point into fantasy literature for early readers.
