Enid Blyton's Enchanted Lands - The Adventures Of The Wishing Chair (Animated) (DVD)

The Adventures of Mollie, Peter and Chinky

Advantages: A beautiful book for children (and adults)
Disadvantages: Nothing at all - you might have to hunt for a copy

. Because of the wonderful way Enid Blyton had of writing for children, Mollie and Peter are never in too much danger so the book in no way could be construed as scary even for the smallest children to listen to. Chinky the pixie comes out with the most clever spells and enchantments as only a pixie could, of course these are spells only for good and are only used when Mollie and Peter are in any sort of trouble. The Wishing Chair goes missing a few times while the children are exploring the faraway lands, usually to be found snoring in a little corner or it's been chair-napped by naughty elves. The children always get the chair back and each chapter ends with Mollie and Peter hoping their next adventure comes along soon.

Review of The Adventures Of The Wishing - Chair - Enid Blyton

Chair ,we wish to go to the land of dreams!

Advantages: Lovely timeless stories with a little moral message too in some of them
Disadvantages: Magic chairs are hard to find

have read many Enid Blyton books, I believe her best books were the ones she wrote for the little ones. The Wishing Chair books have moral messages too. Bad temper ,bullying , lying , stealing and doing as your told are all touched upon. The older hardbacked version of the Wishing chair pre 1967 ,had excellent line drawings. I preferred them to the later 1970's version as they were more realistic and detailed. ...

Review of The Adventures Of The Wishing - Chair - Enid Blyton

Bringing the Magic Back

Advantages: Brings the magic back to adults and introduces the magic to young children
Disadvantages: Quality is not as good as it should be

The Magic Faraway Tree One set of books I loved when I was a child was those written by Enid Blyton, a well known ,yet perhaps old fashioned in her writing, author of many great childrens books ? many of which are now being remade to suit a more modern audience of children. Included in Blyton?s writings were the well loved ?Faraway Tree? books, full of magic, fantasy and strange and wonderful creatures to capture the hearts and imagination of children all over. My Enid Blyton books were passed down to me from my own mum and now having a daughter of my own, I couldn?t wait to pass down my books, yet my daughter being so young still, I thought perhaps the DVD would be better at the moment (although lets be honest ? I brought it more so for my own memories and enjoyment!). THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE In the center of the Enchanted Wood ...
