About this listen

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:

Up to the Land of Toys

Excellent classic children’s story

I loved this series as a child and still have the books. It’s still just as magical today. Kate Winslet is an excellent choice to read the stories, she really brings the characters to life!

Nostalgic

Still listening to this as a nearly-30 year old. It will always be nostalgic and comforting. A great bedtime listen. Can't wait to start on the next installment. Kate Winslet is perfect as ever.

wonderfully narrated

I wasn't sure what to expect from Kate Winslet as a narrator but she does a fantastic job. My boys (4 & 7) love listening to it.
