1.0 out of 5 stars Warning: Heavily abridged version, 12 Jan 2007
By Richard A (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Faraway Tree Collection: The Enchanted Wood; The Magic Faraway Tree; The Folk of the Faraway Tree (Hardcover)
As a previous reviewer mentioned, the hardcover Egmont Books edition (ISBN 0603560733) of the "Faraway Tree Collection" has been heavily abridged. However, after comparing this edition with the newer "Politically correct" edition, it is not only the last 6 chapters of the "Faraway Tree" that got chopped but several middle chapters of the "Enchanted Wood" as well. The 20th chapter was also heavily cut to mask the gaps in the storyline caused by the editing.

Egmont, why bother to reproduce these books with the original language, pictures and atmosphere if you end up abridging the contents? Waste of effort in my opinion. This one's going back.

Disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing Chapters, 16 Feb 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Faraway Tree Collection: The Enchanted Wood; The Magic Faraway Tree; The Folk of the Faraway Tree (Hardcover)
"The Magic Faraway Tree has been slightly abridged", this is the comment on the chapter page. Having contacted the publishers I found that 6 chapters have been ommitted. "Slightly" is an underestimate if ever there was one. I am very dissapointed and will be returning this volume. I intend to try and purchase originals with full text which will carry the full import of the original story which I remember from Primary School, very kindly read to us by Miss Hall at Mount Carmel in Redditch in the mid to late 50's. What a wonderful trip this was, all the way to the magic lands of the Faraway Tree.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very old fashioned but good book, 19 Sep 2005
This review is from: The Faraway Tree Collection: The Enchanted Wood; The Magic Faraway Tree; The Folk of the Faraway Tree (Hardcover)
I like this book a lot,i find it very easy to read but i am 10! That just shows you are never to old for Enid Blyton books!!!
It is about 3 children called Joe,beth and Frannie and i don't recommend this book if you are a modern child becauce they talk awfully old fashioned!Six and upwards would suit to this book i think because anybody younger would lose the plot a bit.Hope my rewiew helped you!
