I cannot encourage teachers, librarians and parents enough to add Enid Blyton and especially this series to their shelves. Great bedtime read-aloud, excellent introduction to listening to chapter books.
Note to owners of older copies, this new version has been altered. I was slightly shocked when my copy arrived. The names of the children were different than in my old used copies of the first two stories! Bessie is Beth, Fannie is Frannie, Dick is Rick and Jo is Joe. It's not a big deal and I just say the old British version as I read aloud, but I wish I'd known that it had been revised. I also suspect that some words were 'updated', but it's not terribly noticable. I'm just glad another Blyton book is back in print!

Myself and my brother read this book when we were young and enjoyed it tremendously. He recently bought it for his daughter and also gifted me a copy, which I am going to treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A special book, January 9, 2004

This review is from: Folk of the Faraway Tree (Paperback)

My sister and I read this book as children,and really enjoyed it. It is the kind of humour and happenings that children love. I have tried for years to get a copy, but now it is finally being reprinted. I can't believe my good fortune!It is also a favourite of my own children. I will definately be buying several copies. Enid Blyton is the best!
