Once upon a time, in a small village surrounded by dense forests, there lived a young boy named Jack. Jack was always curious and loved exploring nature. He would often venture into the deep woods, discovering its secrets and hidden treasures. One sunny afternoon, as Jack was wandering deeper into the forest, he stumbled upon a peculiar tree. It stood tall and proud, adorned with leaves of vibrant colors. Its trunk was smooth and seemed to emit a warm glow.
Michael Woods also tries to deconstruct the psychosocial ingredients of Blyton’s formula: superior social status, the absence of anything that smacks of the work-a-day world, the high fantasy level, and a strong animal interest.
Maybe I don t really want escape in that way, maybe what I want is just a different way of seeing and being in this world, let s call it The Enlightenment Model, where the essence of reality is perceived and understood with regard to its depths and riches in ways that we don t normally have access to. It feel it s something I d like to think more about, maybe by reading a later book of his, Unforbidden Pleasures , which I think he explores this notion in greater depth.
Its trunk was smooth and seemed to emit a warm glow. Jack had never seen such a tree before and felt an irresistible pull towards it. As he approached the tree, Jack noticed a small gold key hanging from one of its branches.

Curiosity got the best of him, and he reached out to take it. The moment his fingers touched the key, a soft whisper filled the air. "Unlock the door to endless wonders," the voice whispered mysteriously. Intrigued by the tree's magic, Jack searched around for a door. After a while, he spotted a hidden entrance tucked away behind a curtain of vines. His heart racing with excitement, he inserted the key into the lock and turned it. The door creaked open, revealing a dazzling world beyond his wildest imaginings. Jack stepped through the door and found himself in a vast, enchanted meadow. The grass sparkled like emeralds, and flowers bloomed in every imaginable hue. Majestic creatures roamed freely, from unicorns to fiery-winged phoenixes. It was a place straight out of fairy tales. As he wandered through this enchanting land, Jack realized that the tree was the gateway to a realm where dreams came true. The magic far away tree granted wishes and fulfilled desires. He had stumbled upon a place where fantasy and reality intertwined. Over time, Jack befriended many magical beings, who taught him the ways of their realm. He learned how to communicate with animals and harness the power of the elements. The tree became his sanctuary and a source of infinite wisdom. But as the seasons changed, Jack began to yearn for his own village, his family, and friends. It was time to bid farewell to the magic far away tree and return to his world. The tree understood his longing and granted him one final wish – to keep the memories of his adventures forever. With a heavy heart, Jack said goodbye to the magical meadow and retraced his steps through the door. He emerged back into the familiar surroundings of the forest. The key, once again, hung delicately from the tree's branch, waiting patiently for its next adventurer. From that day forward, Jack carried the memories of his magical journey, forever cherishing his time in the land of the magic far away tree. The tree, hidden deep within the forest, continued to enchant and inspire young hearts, waiting for those who dared to dream and unlock its secrets..
