Books like the faraway tree5/12/2023 The bonus is that the reader is inundated with a host of the lovely Dorothy Wheeler pictures and who could complain about that? Robin and Joy initially distance the theme by a factor of one and viewed as a whole it might even be considered as a story within a story. Because of the format the book might not be classed on par with the first three Faraway Tree volumes but that's purely a matter of how you see it. Due to the popularity of the previous Faraway Tree tales it was fairly obvious that Up the Faraway Tree might also be welcomed as a dedicated book and this took place in 1951. It was in picture-strip form and there were four panels per issue. "Once there were two children called Robin and Joy." This is how the fourth of the Faraway Tree series begins in Sunny Stories of July 23rd, 1948. So off they go and have fun climbing the tree, meeting the people who live there, and visiting magical lands like the Land of Roundabouts and Swings, the Land of Magic, and the Land of Castles as well as having a party in the Land of Cakes! Review by Terry Gustafson Brief Summary by Robert Houghton: Two children, Robin and Joy read a book of exciting stories about Jo, Bessie and Fanny and the wonderful Faraway Tree and determine to go and visit the children from the book and share in their adventures.
