Maybe not the best faraway tree book - Rated
I absolutely loved these books when I was a child, so when I had a baby daughter I couldn`t wait to buy them for her. She`s a bit too young to understand what I`m reading to her at the moment so I can`t tell you if she enjoys the stories but when I did read it to her I was a tiny bit disappointed that it didn`t seem quite as good as I remembered, but then things never do, do they! And it might be the fact that I am grown-up now too(apparently). I`m sure children will enjoy it. Anyway, I am going to buy the other Faraway Tree stories because I think they may be better. I apologise, this turned out to be a pretty unhelpful review but I`m not deleting it all now so you`re stuck with it!
Unfinished - Rated
These editions of the faraway tree stories are extremely rough. Jill Newton's drawings actually detract from the atmosphere (strange because her illustrations in other books are lovely - I get the impression she was asked for a set of rough sketches then they went ahead to production without paying her for production-quality illustrations). Continuity errors abound. Fanny is called Frannie in most of the book and Fanny on the back cover, characters trip over their beards in the story who are illustrated beardless. Characters are specifically described as wearing particular dress then illustrated without. The cover art seems to be from two different artists too. Please spend a little more and find a version that allows you to get into the atmosphere unjarred by poor production values.

There must be some kind of mistake with the three new books, The books are not 416 pages as indicated, but under 200. Still the stories are the same. But no extra illustrations as I had hoped.

I read these books as a child growing up and I regretted not holding on to them. I am going to buy all of them to read again and give to my kids.
