My favourite book as a 9 year old, until my teacher borrowed it and never gave it back :(

I read this with my son. It was enjoyable but no where near as good as the magic faraway tree.

I read this many many years ago for the first time – I do love Enid Blyton’s fantasy stuff – but the Wishing Chair books really don’t live up to the wonder of the Magic Faraway stories.
Quite disjointed really, hopping from one adventure to the next and they seemed like very short adventures for the most part, so you never really felt like you had a chance to enjoy them.
Not one of my favourite Blyton stories, but I needed something super easy to read to relax my brain, and that’s what I got.

I remember being bored and digging up some dusty hardcover books out of somewhere, and this was one of them. I absolutely loved these stories, and I can still remember how exciting it was to read the description of the wings budding out of the legs of the chair as the kids figured out how to work it.

This gets a 5 star rating mainly for sentimental reasons. This was the first book I read as a child (aside from Harry Potter) and it remains my favourite book.
Read for the N.E.W.Ts.
