I'm a big fan of Enid Blyton's books! I really envy you chookie2, you probably have the pristine version of the Faraway Tree trilogy (I know there's a 4th book, but it's an obscure and thin book that no one has read).
I'm sad to say that these days The Faraway Tree has been censored and meddled with. Fanny's name has been changed. Dame Slap makes the naughty kids stand in the corner instead of slapping them, Dick is called Rick I think. And there are a few other changes.
The Faraway Tree is the masterpiece of Enid Blyton, and if some day I'll get off my backside and write some fan fiction, it will be about these magical books.
