Reskeet with a favourite book from your childhood. (This is one of them, but I loved the whole series) #TheFive#EnidBlyton
Nicola Coughlan, Nonso Anozie, Jessica Gunning, Mark Heap, Michael Palin and more join The Magic Faraway Tree. Details here bit.ly/4aPSKy4#TheMagicFarawayTree#film#book#EnidBlyton
The Valley of Adventure proves memorable for its setting, its intrigue, and of course for Kiki the parrot. Judd’s audiobook reading continues to make the girls sound like wet dishrags, though in fact they show a bit more gumption this time around. #TheValleyofAdventure#EnidBlyton
Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy join the film adaptation of Enid Blyton’s The Magic Faraway Tree. Details here bit.ly/4b19ymO#TheMagicFarawayTree#EnidBlyton#AndrewGarfield#ClaireFoy#book#film
Writing during the Second World War, Blyton sends her young protagonists on an escapist and rather improbable African adventure. A book notable for its more-or-less non-condescending attitude towards the native boy Mafumu and a rare positive depiction of foreigners (Ranni and Pilescu). #EnidBlyton
Another jolly dose of supercilious British youngsters lording it over the world around them. (One wonders what is to become of Button the fox cub and the Gypsy girl Tassie.) Dinah and Lucy-Ann are particularly wet this book. Kiki remains a highlight. #EnidBlyton#TheCastleofAdventure
