In the Faraway Tree series this pattern is followed, with the children having a series of adventures in the strange lands up the top – some nice (e.g. The three books follow the same rough outline, familiar to readers of childrens’ books: a chapter or two of establishing characters and setting, a series of adventures where the children get into and out of danger and mischief, a penultimate adventure where they are in the greatest peril, and then a nice happy ending. The children befriend the folk who live in the Faraway Tree, including Moon-Face, Dame Washalot, Mr Whatzisname and even the Angry Pixie, and have many adventures with their friends in the strange lands at the top of the tree.
They soon discover the Faraway Tree, which is so tall the topmost branches reach right into the clouds, and whole lands come and go from the top. When exploring the woods they notice that trees are a darker green than usual and make whispering sounds “Wisha-wisha”. Siblings Jo, Bessie and Fanny go to live in the country with their Mother and Father and settle in a cottage on the edge of the Enchanted Wood. There are three stories in the main Faraway Tree series: The Enchanted Wood, The Magic Faraway Tree and The Folk of the Faraway Tree.
