About this listen

 The first enchanting story in the Magic Faraway Tree series by Enid Blyton, the world's best-loved storyteller - read by Kate Winslet.

Joe, Beth and Frannie find the Enchanted Wood on the doorstep of their new home, and when they discover the Faraway Tree they fall into all sorts of adventures!

Join them and their friends Moonface, Saucepan Man and Silky the fairy as they discover which new land is at the top of the Faraway Tree. Will it be the Land of Spells, the Land of Treats, or the Land of Do-As-You-Please? Discover the magic!

Any additional comments?

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 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.

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!
