I've been reading Enid Blyton books to Mars and Venus for some time now. We began with The Enchanted Wood, which Mars' teacher is also reading to the grade at school. Yesterday we read the last three chapters of The Magic Faraway Tree, and tonight before bed we read the first chapter of The Folk of the Faraway Tree.
While Supernerd was getting Venus ready for bed she was being a bit silly and making things difficult, so to get her to behave he reminded her that if she got ready quickly I would be reading her a chapter from The Enchanted Wood.
She immediately replied "No Daddy, it's The Smoke of the Faraway Tree."
Now that would have been a very different book, I suspect.
