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.

I think it's okay but it's not bad

I loved reading Enid Blyton as a child and spotted this in my local library and thought it would be perfect to get my son into Enid Blyton books too and it was a great success. Malaki loved all the characters and is looking forward to the next book

I am a Enid Blyton fan... The colours and graphics in the book add to the imagination.

Buku ketiga sebaiknya nggak dibaca utk umur dibawah anak SMP, buku ini ngajarin anak-anak utk tidak meminta maaf kalau berbuat salah. Dan menerima hukuman hanya jika ketahuan.

Di cerita ini ada sepupu mereka Rick yg ikut ke negeri camilan, di sana mereka makan sepuasnya begitupula Rick, bahkan Rick yg udah kekenyangan masih aja makanin rumah-rumah cemilan yg ada dan ternyata ada penghuninya yg gak terima.

Memang sih kalau dari POV lain, maka bisa juga ini mengajarkan melakukan sesuatu harus berpikir dulu resikonya juga mengajarkan agar tidak rakus, namun saat Rick ketauan dia bahkan nggak minta maaf, tapi cuma mengikuti hukuman yg diperintah pemilik rumah untuk menghukumnya.

Nggak habis pikir sih, udah gitu pas turun dari negeri camilan mereka bawain makanan ke bawah niat nya baik, namun si Rick yg clumsy jatuh dari tangga dan menabrak mereka semua, jadi makanan yg mereka bawa jatuh menimpa orang-orang yg tinggal di faraway tree. Otomatis aja mereka pada marah dong, apa yg anak2 itu lakukan, mereka kabur dan ngumpet (memang sih ini keumuman tingkah anak-anak) tapi gak ngajarin juga kali ya untuk tidak bertanggung jawab...wkwkwk

Duh, siapa juga yang nggak mau ke Negeri Camilan? Negeri yang rumah-rumahnya, toko-toko, pagar, semak dan pohonnya terbuat dari bahan yang bisa dimakan. Dindingnya dari cokelat, pintunya dari marsepen, dan birai jendelanya dari kue jahe. Nyamnyamnyam...!

Joe, Beth, Frannie, Rick, dan tiga sahabat mereka (Paras-Bulan, Silky, dan Tuan Panci) bahagia sekali bisa datang ke Negeri Camilan. Awalnya sih mereka asyik-asyik saja menikmati segala camilan yang begitu lezat. Namun, Rick berbuat nakal. Ia mematahkan beberapa birai jendela dari kue jahe dan mengambil pengetuk pintu dari peppermint. Pemilik pengetuk pintu pun marah dan Rick harus dihukum.

Hukuman seperti apa yang dijatuhkan pada Rick? Dan bagaimana Joe serta adik-adik dan sahabatnya dapat kembali ke rumah?

Buku edisi berbahasa Indonesia ini ternyata diterjemahkan dari bab 16-17 dari buku aslinya, The Magic Faraway Tree. Jadi lebih menarik untuk dinikmati, apalagi ilustrasinya begitu colorful . Bikin pengen ngemil :D

We're delighted you read "The Land of Goodies" by Enid Blyton. This enchanting story not only took you on a journey filled with delicious adventures but also taught the importance of moderation and the value of making wise choices.

A new idea you learned is that too much of a good thing can sometimes be not so good. Just like the characters discovered, it's important to enjoy treats and pleasures in moderation and make healthy choices. You can use this lesson by enjoying your favorite things but also knowing when it's enough, whether it's sweets, screen time, or play.

Keep making wise choices and finding balance, Qamar. Your ability to enjoy life's treats wisely is a wonderful skill.

Love,
Mom and Dad

The pictures are a bit anachronistic (Twenty-first century children do not do ironing and mend tables! and I'm pretty sure muffins in the 1930s in England were not American muffins), but my daughter (5) loves them. Just be aware that you can buy the whole series with a few stories in each book much cheaper, so you're buying this book for the pictures. At the moment I'm sticking with getting these out of the library, because they're too expensive to buy for just one chapter from the original book.

Baru di bulan April 2025 ini saya tahu Enid Blyton punya serial "The Faraway Tree" atau Pohon Kelana.

Buku ini rupanya seri keempat, dan satu-satunya yg berbahasa Indonesia yang saya temukan di Perpustakaan Jakarta Timur secara tidak sengaja.

Petualangan anak-anak khas Enid Blyton kali ini dgn tokoh macam dalam dongeng. Singkat, banyak ilustrasinya, dan punya pesan moral untuk tidak serakah 😆

I loved reading Enid Blyton as a child. How wonderful to find a simple version of one of the Faraway Tree stories with colour illustrations. Miss 3 enjoyed it (apart from the yelling people near the end). It's certainly a wish fulfillment story aimed at children - hard not to enjoy a story of a magical land full of free and wonderful food including candy houses.

Certain things in the book seemed outdated but nevertheless, the Faraway Tree has a special place for me. I wonder how many generations have read this series so far?

[YK S · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is very nice, it was good to read about when Rick got in trouble and how furious he was.

[Sophea Leong · Rating 4 out of 5]

My first read in this series. Someone was greedy and there was a payback. Funny to the end.

Very enjoyable
