Sadly, my gut feeling is given the current Anti-Blyton mood among the cultural elite in this country ("she's sexist, racist, violent, eats babies, blah blah blah") I doubt it'll get into production. I hope I'm wrong though. I'd definitely buy a set! :D
I agree. The only hope is if the Faraway Tree movie actually does get made and they are looking for merchandise. 8)

hearts mad delight,

I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Looks great. If they do actually produce it I hope they build a dedicated Moonface character though. The guy in his doorway doesn't look anything like him. And a ladder up to the lands as someone else mentioned. Otherwise it's brilliant, obviously built with care and love.

It's Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons, I think!

Ahh thanks Fiona. I thought he looked vaguely familiar.
