I have always loved all of the Faraway tree Books, but Magic faraway Tree and Folk of the Faraway tree are my favourites. I especially like the idea of 'the ladder that has no top'!!

As far as I'm aware, the Nature Lovers Book is an exact replica of the original.

A certain shop in Corfe Castle will be getting a delivery on Saturday, and will have a window display in place sometime next week!

Just received my copy from Amazon - it looks to be an amazing book. I would, however, have preferred Stef's First Edition!

I'll bring it to the day so you can see it Nigel!
It was a lucky find I can tell you!
I only went in for a Carry On Film!
