Summary

The first book in Enid Blyton's much loved Magic Faraway Tree series - read by Kate Winslet.

The Enchanted Wood is the first wonderful story in the Faraway Tree series by the world's best-loved children's author, Enid Blyton.

When Joe, Beth and Frannie move to a new home, they discover an Enchanted Wood just outside their doorstep. Soon they find the Faraway Tree, which is the beginning of many magical adventures....

Join them and their new friends Silky the fairy, Saucepan Man and Moonface, as they discover which new land awaits them at the top of the Faraway Tree.

Will they visit the Land of Treats, the Land of Spells, or the Land of Do-As-You-Please? Come with them on an amazing adventure - there will be magic and fun at every turn.

This recording follows the original text, first published in 1939. It does not contain the following chapters, which were first written for Enid Blyton's Omnibus! published in 1952, and later inserted into some editions of The Enchanted Wood:

Great story, the audible version isn't very good.

The story is amazing. My children love listening to it. Either the audible app or the actual audio is poorly timed as it cuts out the first second or two of each page. Which isn't very good. I won't be renewing the app but loved this story.

Love this!

I love this book so much! I have anxiety and the soft voice of the reader is so soothing, and the story itself is so beautiful! Totally recommended! 💗

Well read, but a shame they changed it

One of my favourite childhood books, just a shame they edited it so much. Dame Snap instead of Dame Slap? Airplane?? Hmmm.

Book review from a 10 year old

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator did well at doing voices for the characters. This really helped me imagine what the characters would be like and the world they were in.

As a ten year old I enjoyed the story a lot, and i listen to it with my 6 year old sister who thinks the characters where the best part too.
