The Wishing-chair Again (Wishing Chair)

It is written in a style that is just right for her now: relatively simple words and sentences, but put together in a way that paints a vivid fantasy picture.

The characterisation is simple in the extreme, and some might find fault with the book for that. I don't because books with better characterisation (e.g. The BFG) are more advanced than my daughter can cope with at the moment. One step at a time, and on that basis this book gets full marks from me.

Childrens Fantasy At Its Best   May 18, 2001

I first read this book as a child and it gave me an interest and love of fantasy which still endures. Enid Blyton's writing is at its dream-like best and she weaves a world which defies continent and science and all other adult theories. Put quite simply a very great book which shouldn't be overlooked by any age of reader, however be warned you must read and forget all your preconceptions of the world. The ultimate book for pure dreaming.
