On Rick's first visit, the Land of Topsy-Turvy, is at the end of the Faraway Tree.Īs they climb higher and higher, Rick can't wait to see it. There was a big tree near where I lived, and I used to climb it, look up, and imagine the sort of adventures, I might like to have. That you would never be able to do or see in real life. It's a bit like dreaming, because there's loads of magical things that go on Can you imagine the noise he makes when he moves around? I've always been really adventurous, so I loved reading about the incredible things that happened in this book. Then there's Moon-Face, who has a big round face like the moon, with a huge smile on it.Īnd his best friend is The Saucepan Man, who's covered in pots and kettles. Watzisname, that's his actual name, because even he can't remember what he's called. The tree is stuffed full of funny characters, like Mr. They meet lots of other people, like Silky the Fairy, and The Saucepan Man Who've all made their homes inside the trunk. On the way up, they know to avoid Dame Washalot who's always doing her dirty washing, and emptying the water down the tree. The Faraway Tree is so tall, you can't see where it ends.īut if you clamber all the way to the top, you'll arrive at strange and magic lands. It's a book about three children, Joe, Beth and Franny, who take their cousin, Rick, to an enchanted wood near their home, to show him the most amazing tree you will ever read about. Just reading one of my favourite stories, The Magic Faraway Tree.
