The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton. I read it when I was 9 years old, but I remember it as if it was yesterday. It is a children's book about 3 siblings and their cousin who live near an enchanted forest. In the forest lies a magical tree with mysterious occupants. Moon-face and the saucepan man but the magic lies at the top where different types of lands come and go. What do I mean by lands for example Land of Topsy-Turvy- where everything is -upside down the land of Do-As-You-Please , the land of nursery rhymes where your favourite nursery characters reside.
I love this book because of it's sheer freedom and friendship. I was in my grandmother's house during the holidays, was bored, I picked this up and I was transported to a world where there is unlimited creativity, this book helped me be a freethinker to believe that our life has a little sprinkling of magic somewhere.
Also as an adult I realized, it shows the horrors of a eutopic society and how the concept is flawed.
