This wonderful series was one of the inspirations for my own collection of woodland stories. I hope Enid wouldn't mind me pasting the following link in the pursuit of some shameless self-promotion ...https://www.amazon.com/Month-Bedtime-Stories-Neil-McFarlane-ebook/dp/B00KDZQ736/

My favorite childhood book. Sharing it with another generation is a great pleasure. It is a lovely, funny book to read to a child. I prefer the original British version before it got changed for modern times. Jo, Bessie and Fanny…. I remember my Mother reading this one to me. Love it.

We have read this and the first one in the series (this is the second) repeatedly to our daughter. She never gets tired of them. What sweet innocent stories that are so incredibly imaginative. This is completely original . . . never heard of a similar plot as these have. Above the clouds at the top of this Faraway Tree is a revolving world in which a different land arrives regularly. Each land is unique and has it's own crazy characters and drama. Love it!

I purchased this beautiful book to read to my Son as I loved this story when I read it as a child. I love this version as it has colorful pictures throughout illustrating the story on the page you are reading.

At first when I received this book I thought I must have accidentally purchased a condensed version of the story because it appears so thin, but it is all there. Each page is just large and can fit a lot more words than a regular book size.

Great easy read. I read 2 pages each night for story time to my 5 year old daughter and she loves it. At 210 pages it takes a couple months to go through them. I think we started reading them when she was around 4. She wishes there were more pictures. I find the books to be a fun read also.

Introduced my daughter to my favourite author growing up! She is 6 and enjoys reading this, and being read to. Very imaginative with good lessons about getting along with others, doing chores, and being adventurous.

Great book for my 4 year old twin boys who love adventures in our local woods. They loved asking about the land of presents and bringing medicines back for their mum from the land of magic medicine!

Reviewed in Italy on June 13, 2018

My children aged 3 and 7 years adore this series of books. My eldest daughter can read independently, but these stories are still a little 'wordy' for her at this stage. I started reading one chapter at bedtime each night, but the fast paced and exciting story line means that the children are always eager to read more. The characters encounter new and exciting lands above the faraway tree in each chapter, their clever thinking means they escape unscathed every time. Adventure, lessons and happy endings... perfect for this age group. I love seeing my children engage with these stories and it has encouraged them to be more imaginative in their own play and storytelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent livre pour enfant
Reviewed in France on May 18, 2016

L'histoire est palpitante pour les enfants, mon fils de cinq ans me réclame la suite. Chaque soir c'est son moment favori, il se rappelle le titre du prochain chapitre depuis la veille et attend ça avec impatiente après le brossage de dents.
D'un point de vue pratique, les chapitres sont juste de la bonne longueur pour en lire un par soir, le vocabulaire est riche sans être trop soutenu (attention, pour anglophones quand même), et les aventures sont tout juste celles dont rêvent les enfants. Un arbre magique, des amis farfelus, un peu de suspens de temps en temps et l'histoire se finit toujours bien. Et l'histoire n'est pas stéréotypée "pour garçons" ou "pour filles", tous les enfants pourront s'identifier aux héros.
Côté âge, mon fils 3 ans et demie écoute distraitement et aime bien les petites illustrations de temps à autre mais n'est pas aussi impliqué que son grand frère qui a deux ans de plus. Après c'est peut-être aussi une question de tempérament, donc personnellement je recommanderais à partir de 4 ou 5 ans, en fonction de chaque enfant.

Having loved the Faraway Tree and it's occupants as a child it has been so wonderful sharing this story with my son. We snuggle up and read two or three chapters at a time. Each chapter is kind of like a short story unto itself. As you travel through the book you are on the shoulder of the familiar characters of the faraway tree and participant to all their adventures. The story is mild enough to be read to the youngest literature lover. Truly splendid!
