Editor's Notes
 
Embark on one last adventure in the Enchanted Wood, home to delightful creatures and a gigantic, magical tree. Join Beth, Joe, Frannie and Connie as they journey from Nursery Rhyme Land to the Land of Secrets and beyond, with beloved characters like Silky the fairy and Moonface in tow.

The Folk of the Faraway Tree, with its mystical lands and marvellous tea parties, is Enid Blyton at her imaginative best. Artist Jonathan Burton has created five charming full-page illustrations for this final instalment, featuring giants, trolls and rabbit waiters. It's a fabulous book for curious children, nostalgic adults, or anyone who fancies escaping for a little while among the boughs.
Synopsis
 
When curious but sceptical Connie comes to stay, she’s not convinced by tales of magical trees or strange lands in the clouds. But with Moonface, Silky and Saucepan Man to guide her, it’s not long before she’s swept up into the Faraway Tree’s latest adventures — from the chaotic Land of Nursery Rhymes to the mysterious Land of Secrets.

The Folk of the Faraway Tree is the final book in Enid Blyton’s much-loved trilogy, full of enchantment, mischief and unforgettable characters.

About the Author

Enid Blyton (1897–1968) is one of the most popular children’s writers of all time: her books have sold hundreds of millions of copies in dozens of languages, and continue to inspire new generations with a love of reading. Famously prolific, she sometimes published more than 50 books a year, with more than 750 appearing in total across a 40-year career. Blyton’s best-loved fiction is from long-running series – including The Famous Five (1942), The Secret Seven (1949) and Malory Towers (1946) – and she also created enduring characters such as Noddy. Her creativity was coupled with a pioneering instinct for marketing and publicity, including the licensing of characters for board games, jigsaw puzzles and adaptations in other media. Blyton was born in South London and spent much of her adult life living in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.
