On the Farm: The Farm Series Collection

by Enid Blyton

A bumper bind-up of farm stories from much-loved children’s author Enid Blyton
Benjy, Penny, Rory and Sheila are staying with their aunt and uncle at Cherry Tree Farm. They feed the animals, explore the countryside and hunt for the mysterious Tammylan, who lives in the woods – and you can be sure that they get into mischief along the way…
This bumper volume collects Children of Cherry-Tree Farm, The Children of Willow Farm and More Adventures at Willow Farm.
Short chapters and beautiful illustrations make On the Farm perfect bedtime reading for children aged six and upwards. A richly nostalgic offering for grandparents and parents to share with the next generation of Blyton fans.
Enid Blyton is arguably the most famous children’s author of all time, thanks to series such as The Wishing-Chair, The Faraway Tree­, The Mysteries, The Famous Five and The Secret Seven. Enid takes her place alongside Roald Dahl, Beatrix Potter, and A. A. Milne as one of Britain’s true heritage children’s authors. 
'Her books were terrific page-turners in the way no others were' – Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse.

Enid Mary Blyton (1897–1968) was an English author of children's books.

Born in South London, Blyton was the eldest of three children, and showed an early interest in music and reading. She was educated at St. Christopher's School, Beckenham, and - having decided not to pursue her music - at Ipswich High School, where she trained as a kindergarten teacher. She taught for five years before her 1924 marriage to editor Hugh Pollock, with whom she had two daughters. This marriage ended in divorce, and Blyton remarried in 1943, to surgeon Kenneth Fraser Darrell Waters. She died in 1968, one year after her second husband.

Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's.

According to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare.

Berisi 3 buku dari seri yang sama~ aku inget pas masih SD lihat iklan terbitnya novel yang pertama, yang Cherry Farm itu, dan cuma bisa ngiler kepengin beli tapi ga bisa. Ternyata habis itu diterbitkan juga lanjutannya, tapi di perpus SMP waktu aku cari nggak ada.

Buku ini berhasil didapatkan pas BBW di th. 2016, dan baru tamat dibaca th. 2025 (*ˊᗜˋ*) *tertawa tanpa rasa penyesalan*

Habisnya *mulai cari-cari alasan* berbeda dengan Lima Sekawan dan sejenisnya, kisah-kisah di peternakan ini tipe slice of life yang enak dibaca secicip-secicip saat sedang gundah, galau, dan lelah menjadi karyawan dan ingin beternak babi saja di kampung (｡•́︿•̀｡)( ´(00)ˋ )

Enak sekali bacanya~ (^ q ^) sekaligus menyadarkan bahwa kegiatan bertani dan beternak yang enak dibaca fiksinya, pada faktanya kalau dilakukan akan jadi sangat amat berat banget, apalagi kalau tidak ada dukungan dari pemerintah.

enid blyton is really the awesome author of children books!!
.
i love every single thing of her works. no doubt this one too.
.
This book tells us about all the stories you can meet at the farm, such as being friendly with wild animals, knowing their habitat and their behavior.
All the interaction in this family is really heartwarming.
We can know that they will grow up so lovely.
They love each other and they love the animal around the farm so much.
.
I have to do story-telling with this book to my own children. have to!

This omnibus contains all three of Enid Blyton's ever popular farm series. Contains The Children of Cherry Tree Farm, The Children of Willow Farm and Willow Farm Again. I love these, they hark back to a much simpler time, when kids were sent out each morning and told to be home for tea, where parents are very much in the background and the country life was so saccharine and sweet.

Excellent for 6-8 year olds.

[A.R. Collins · Rating 3 out of 5]

For me, the three books in this collection get progressively better. I used to read the third one as a child, but never the first two, and The Children of Cherry Tree Farm was particularly disappointing by comparison; every chapter is the same and has nothing to do with the farm! The Children of Willow Farm is better, being a story about the family starting their own farm, which is fun and interesting - but it does lack jeopardy. Everything just sails along. I can see why I enjoyed More Adventures on Willow Tree Farm (oops, anomalous title!) when I was a child. It has excitement, things going wrong and even some real character development. My favourite character is Penny, who is one of Blyton's feistier little girls, and I like how the women - even Mother, for Enid Blyton mothers are usually feeble - are all prepared to muck in and be sensible. Individual star ratings would be two, three, four - so not too hard to find my average!
