Moonface's Story (The Magic Faraway Tree)

Product Information

There is also a visit to The Old Woman who Lives in a Shoe and you can imagine how uncomfortable that could turn out to be, and — "Is it a bird? They have also been to Nursery Rhyme Land, the Land of Enchantments, and the Land of Treats and they have made friends with several fairy people who actually live in little dwellings carved out of the tree itself.

Once an hour has passed and your dough has doubled in size, take it from the bowl and give it a quick knead before breaking it into roughly 12 equally sized pieces (first time I made this I got 9, second time 12, really depends how big you want your buns). In 1997, stories from the novels were adapted into animated ten-minute episodes for the TV series Enid Blyton's Enchanted Lands.

Here are a few instances that feature in this particular book: Saucepan's nose grows as long as Pinocchio's. At first, Connie refuses to believe in the Faraway Tree or the magical folk who live in it, even when the Angry Pixie throws ink at her and when Dame Washalot soaks her. When the buns have cooled, use the end of a spoon or even a chopstick to make a small insertion on the side, enough to press one of the sherbet filled apricots through, repeat until all buns have a surprise inside. Unlike the first three books in the series, this work is not a novel, but a series of illustrations with short text underneath. Fanny and Dick have been renamed Frannie and Rick because in the United Kingdom and some countries in the Commonwealth of Nations they are now more widely used as slang terms for genitalia.

Dick and the girls go up the tree again to join Jo, Moon-Face, Saucepan and Silky and then things go from bad to worse. Soon they were all sitting on the broad branches outside Moon-Face’s house, eating Pop Biscuits and Google Buns. I found I had to manually work the sultanas through at this stage to ensure they would be properly distributed.This tree grows so high that it reaches special clouds that contain magical lands which visit every now and again and rest on the top-most branches. Dame Washalot is her name and she gets rid of the spent water by simply emptying it down the tree so Dick learns another valuable lesson.
