The tree is so tall that its topmost branches reach into the clouds and it is wide enough to contain small houses carved into its trunk.

The Magic Faraway Tree is a enchanting children’s classic that invites young readers to embark on a whimsical journey into a world of imagination, friendship, and magical wonder. In this captivating tale, Enid Blyton introduces Joe, Beth, and Frannie, three siblings who discover an extraordinary tree that transports them to enchanted lands high above the clouds.
As the story unfolds, the children’s adventures take them to a series of fantastical realms, each perched atop the tree and filled with unique characters and mystical creatures. From the Land of Topsy-Turvy to the Land of Do-As-You-Please, every visit is an opportunity for discovery and delight.
