The Enchanted Wood

This book is the first in the Faraway Tree series, introducing the magical world and its characters. While each book offers self-contained adventures, reading them in order allows for a continuous journey with Joe, Beth, and Frannie.

The Enchanted Wood stands out for its imaginative concept of ever-changing lands at the top of the Faraway Tree, a recurring element that provides endless variety. Unlike some of her other adventure stories, the focus here is purely on whimsical fantasy and exploration rather than mystery or school life.

The Faraway Tree series, which includes The Enchanted Wood, has been adapted into various forms, including radio dramas and stage productions. A live-action film adaptation of the series has also been announced.
