Despite their connections with the Fairy-world his Faraway Tree friends can t take the spell off so poor Jo has to stay topsy-turvy and as this would make it a little difficult to get down the tree again he stays the night at Moon-Face s and they all hope that the next land which comes along might have some remedy for his plight.

The Magic Faraway Tree: Silky and Moonface’s Stories
The Magic Faraway Tree with its ladder at the very top leading through the clouds to wondrous lands of adventure and magic has been a favourite for generations and has always been my go-to read-aloud when introducing young children to the concept of series with their continuing settings and characters.
Now, almost 80 years later , two new stories about two of the favourite residents of the Faraway Tree have been created to introduce this magical world to a new generation of young readers and have them clamouring to read more.
In Silky’s Story, the children arrive at The Tree to discover it silent, its leaves on the ground, its fruit eaten and, as they climb, they follow a trail of mess, mud and fruit stones. Their friends are all frightened and Silky the fairy is missing! It seems that the Land of Roundabouts and Swings has arrived at the top of the tree and an unusual and seemingly unpleasant visitor has come down the tree causing havoc and taken Silky back to the Land with him…
Meanwhile, in Moonface’s Story, it is Moonface’s birthday and he wants to hold a party for all his special friends. Of course, birthday parties always require cake but when he tries to bake a cake it ends up burnt. Will he find help in one of the wonderful lands at the top of the Faraway Tree?
Lavishly illustrated in bold colours, both books make both the perfect bedtime story as well as taking the child to ‘old worlds, new worlds and other worlds.’ The perfect entrée to the main course of the complete collection – The Enchanted Wood , The Magic Faraway Tree and The Folk of the Faraway Tree.
These lands are inhabited by fantastical creatures and provide endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. In the story, Moonface invites his friends Joe, Beth, and Franny to visit him in the Enchanted Wood and experience the magic of the Faraway Tree. Together, they embark on various adventures and meet a variety of interesting characters, including the Saucepan Man, Silky the fairy, and the Angry Pixie. Throughout the book, Moonface's character adds humor and excitement to the story. His clever ideas and quick thinking often help the group overcome obstacles and resolve conflicts. Moonface's friendship and loyalty make him a beloved character, and his antics bring joy to both the other characters in the story and the readers. Moonface Magic Faraway Tree is a charming book that captures the imagination of young readers and transports them to a magical world. Enid Blyton's storytelling skills, combined with her vivid descriptions and endearing characters, make this book a delightful read for children of all ages..
