This book has always been my least favourite of the original three books in this series, though that said, it is still very much a five star read.

Of course, the magical lands don't stay at the top of the tree for long, so you've got to know how to get home. In one story, when the children have rescued The Saucepan Man from a fortress, in the Land of Toys, they almost don't make it. Rereading a childhood favourite can sometimes prove hazardous. Often, what so appealed to our younger selves we later find riddled with plot holes, become distanced from the young protagonists, or find them just generally unsuited for an adult readership. For this reason I had stayed away from my once beloved Enid Blyton, for so long.

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 tree is stuffed full of funny characters, like Mr. Watzisname, that's his actual name, because even he can't remember what he's called. Then there's Moon-Face, who has a big round face like the moon, with a huge smile on it. This book follows pretty much the same formula as the previous two. Visit a land, something goes wrong, someone needs to be rescued, the children manage to escape, swear they are going to not go on any adventures for awhile and yet the do. But we always end on a nice note with a nice land to visit and this time it's the Land of Treats after the gang saves the Faraway Tree from near death. (Is there an allegory in there about mining being bad? Maybe? Who knows.) Panting and puffing, they raced down the streets of the Land of Toys, trying to remember where the hole was that lead down through the cloud, to the Faraway Tree. Joe remembered the way. He lead them all to the hole, and there was the ladder. Thank goodness."It wasn’t only a tree, it was a home for lots of little people and the path to strange adventures far above.” But if you clamber all the way to the top, you'll arrive at strange and magic lands. A different one each time you visit. A full-colour short story taken from the world of the Magic Faraway Tree. Perfect for new readers. Discover the magic! Then one-by-one, all of the others followed and soon, all seven of them, stood in the curious land.” And what do you think they saw when they got there? Well the great thing is, you don't have to guess, because the writer, Enid Blyton, Mr 6: I would like to go to the land of get something for your Mummy. That wasn't in the book, but I would like to go to that land if it comes. Actually, I would like to go to that land where you buy things for other people so i could buy roses for you. *Kisses my forehead* I love you Mum.

They knew well that if they were caught, they would be put into the toy fort. And then the Land of Toys would move from the Faraway Tree, and goodness knows how long they might have to stay there. So they ran at top speed. Franny fell behind a little, and Joe took her hand to help her along.

And his best friend is The Saucepan Man, who's covered in pots and kettles. Can you imagine the noise he makes when he moves around? I've always been really adventurous, so I loved reading about the incredible things that happened in this book. It's a bit like dreaming, because there's loads of magical things that go on The enchanted forest and the tree that bears different fruits on each branch on each different day, with a new land on the top of it every week and the heartwarming people living in each branch -Moonface, Saucepan Man, Mrs.Saucepan, Dame Washalot, silky the Fairy, Mr. Whatishisname, Angry Pixie and the four children Joe, Beth, Frannie and Connie from the neighborhood and their adventure to the various lands, are so hilarious and at the same time when we see it through the child prospect it is as thrilling as giving you a rapid adrenaline rush. Loved how magic and companionship with a tinch of trust and love can shape a person's character and help in the growth of a sempiternal bond. Al treilea volum al seriei mi-a plăcut mult mai mult decât al doilea. Alături de cei trei frați o găsim pe o Connie ,fetița răsfățată a unei prietene.
