Critic reviews

The story is endlessly fun - full of mischief, adventure and magical twists that spark their imagination... It's amazing that the first book in the series was written in 1939, yet the story still feels fresh and full of magic for today's kids

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.

Painless long car journeys with two young boys!

I really liked it, especially all the characters like moon face, silky and the sauspan man. I wish I could go up the faraway tree

I love this book so much! I have anxiety and the soft voice of the reader is so soothing, and the story itself is so beautiful! Totally recommended! 💗

Love this!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator did well at doing voices for the characters. This really helped me imagine what the characters would be like and the world they were in.

As a ten year old I enjoyed the story a lot, and i listen to it with my 6 year old sister who thinks the characters where the best part too.
