Old Vic Productions have also confirmed they had acquired stage rights to Famous Five and were looking to launch a musical version of the five’s adventures. The books themselves also underwent a “language update” in 2011, to make them more relatable for a new generation of readers.

Review by Terry Gustafson Brief Summary by Robert Houghton: Two children, Robin and Joy read a book of exciting stories about Jo, Bessie and Fanny and the wonderful Faraway Tree and determine to go and visit the children from the book and share in their adventures. So off they go and have fun climbing the tree, meeting the people who live there, and visiting magical lands like the Land of Roundabouts and Swings, the Land of Magic, and the Land of Castles as well as having a party in the Land of Cakes! According to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare.The Faraway Tree is a series of three novels (and one picture-strip book) by British children's author Enid Blyton. British Weather: Averted, the children seem to be blessed with mostly sunny and beautiful weather. Maybe because they live near an enchanted forest?. Punny Name: Most of the folks living in the tree; Moon Face has a face shaped like a round moon, Silky has fine silky hair, Mr. Wazitsname doesn't know his true name, and so on.

In 1997, The Faraway Tree was adapted into the first season of Enid Blyton's Enchanted Lands, an animated series created for the BBC by Cosgrove Hall. Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The Angry Pixie is a pixie with a Hair-Trigger Temper, Dame Washalot is a woman who enjoys washing clothes to the point that she'll clean the leaves of the Faraway Tree if she has nothing else to wash, and Moon-Face is a man with a round, moon-like face. The topmost branches of the Faraway Tree reach up into the clouds, and are used to access various magical 'lands' that appear amongst the clouds. The lands themselves vary from nice lands, like 'The Land of Birthdays' or 'The Land of Take-What-You-Want', to not so nice lands like 'The Land of Punishments' or 'The Land of Tempers'. Each land moves away from the tree to make way for the next one, the length of time a land will stay seems to vary. Some lands will only stay for an hour or so, but other lands will stay for days, and even the time that will elapse between one land leaving and the next arriving is undefined.Saucepan joins up with them again in their next foray and as he's very prone to accidents there is a need to visit the Land of Magic to put right something that has happened to him. Poor old Saucepan Man — things go from bad to worse and the picture-panels with the couple of lines of script under them show us exactly what happens to the unfortunate individual. The picture-story moves on with visits to more lands and at one stage Moon-Face's little house is invaded by some horrible people from the Land of Quarrels. The next place to arrive above the Faraway Tree is Toyland which brings plenty of excitement and a little problem involving a couple of straying dolls. Eventually the book ends with a perfectly marvelous land where everyone indulges. Indulges in what? You will find out when you get hold of this fourth and last book in the Faraway Tree collection although there is further Faraway Tree adventure which isn't classed as a separate book not that it couldn't be in this day and age because even single Enid Blyton stories are appearing as mini-novels for young readers. Enid Blyton also wrote the text for a comic-strip story called Up the Faraway Tree (1951). Two picture books have been published set in the Magic Faraway Tree world, with new texts, not written by Enid Blyton: Silky’s Story (2020) and Moonface’s Story (2021). Chapters from the first three original books are also published as individual full-colour editions for young readers, illustrated by Alex Paterson.
