THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE by Enid Blyton
The story is about three children who live near a magic tree. The tree is home to weird creatures such as Moonface, Angry Pixie, Silky and Mr Whatsisname. At the top of the tree is a gateway to many different lands but it constantly rotates and if the land at the top of the tree moves and you're still in it, you're stuck there...forever.
The type of lands at the top of the tree differ greatly; sometimes they're amazing such as the 'Land of take what you want', and sometimes they're not so good, i.e 'Land of Dame Slap'.
The stories are still being published today and still manage to capture the imagination of small children everywhere (like it did with me) and has recently been adapted for an audio book, read by long time fan Kate Winslet.
