If she has no clothes to wash, she washes the dirty laundry of other people and even the leaves of the Faraway Tree; The enchanted forest and the tree that bears different fruits on each branch on each different day, with a new land on the top of it every week and the heartwarming people living in each branch -Moonface, Saucepan Man, Mrs.Saucepan, Dame Washalot, silky the Fairy, Mr. Whatishisname, Angry Pixie and the four children Joe, Beth, Frannie and Connie from the neighborhood and their adventure to the various lands, are so hilarious and at the same time when we see it through the child prospect it is as thrilling as giving you a rapid adrenaline rush. Loved how magic and companionship with a tinch of trust and love can shape a person's character and help in the growth of a sempiternal bond. And there you have it. These stories all revolve around the central characters mentioned and their adventures both in the Faraway Tree and in the lands above.
