Need help identifying an Enid Blyton book

Post by Jorge »

I read an Enid Blyton book when I was a child and have been trying to track it down for a number of years. The problem is I don't remember the title, and only some of the details. It was a very spiritual book, about a journey to a heavenly place, whilst carrying burdons. It was all very allegorical. The destination was symbolical of heaven, and the burdens were symbolical of the problems we face in life. If anyone can identify this book for me, I would be so grateful.

The book you're looking for is The Land of Far-Beyond. An unusual Blyton title, and a stirring read. It's loosely based on The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan.
