The Enchanted Wood

It is right at the top!

I love all the characters in the faraway tree. Enid wrote wonderful characters and settings that were perfect for daydreamers.

Yes and it is just as good. Kate has a wonderful reading voice.

No, but I enjoyed all the adventures and settings.

No, there is always merit to reading stories yourself and making the characters your own

Love them all for nostalgic reasons, though they aren't actually always very nice people... I found the children, and even the 'adults' Silky, Moonface and Saucean Man to be really mean at times. Especially to Connie in The Folk of The Faraway Tree, who yes, was annoying, but realistically not as unpleasant or arrogant as the others!

I have downloaded and listened to this series, but I dont know about any others. Kate was very good and I liked the way she portrayed most of the characters, but it was odd listening to someone so familiar. Think i prefer unknowns, or the ones that do it very well (Stephen Fry for eg)

To annoyance yes.. Why on earth were the names changed from Bessie and Fanny to Beth and Franny?? I found that very odd, and a weird insult to the original tale by Enid Blyton.

I am 7yrs old and I loved this book. Thank you. It was great! I want to read the book !

I bought this series for my son to listen to on the short hops to and from school. It's his nanny's favourite series. He loved them and sometimes didn't want to get out of the car when we got home. Certainly recommended for infant age kids on a car journey

These books were my favourite when I was a child and I've loved listening to them all over again as brought to life by Kate Winslet. My children also love them and roared laughing particularly at the deaf old Saucepan Man and we've been on several very long journeys without the usual squabbles and mithering. Highly recommend.

I have loved this classic story since childhood and was very disappointed and confused by the unnecessary name changes that have occurred.

Why is Bessie now Beth and why is Fanny now Franny. It doesn't make sense ?

What a shame. Apart from this, the story is as good as always.

Not so sure kate winslet as the narrator however, I do think having someone famous or identifiable to that level is distracting from the story. (I think this for most famous people narrating audiobooks)

This is a captivating story and the storytelling suits it perfectly. Kate Winslet keeps the narrative going and conveys the action so that the children were riveted. Brilliant!

Great it took me back to my childhood.

Just as I remembered it!

Just like my aunt! <br/>

Exiting to see what land was coming...

Would recommend to be a read for any creative and imaginetive children.<br/>

Still the best classic around.

Really good story telling from Kate kinslet ( I think that's her name! )
Great for all ages.
Thumbs up from me!👍

My little boy loves hearing this book. Kate Winslet brings it to life and he is captivated
