Fly away to magical lands with Peter and Mollie in the second adventure in Enid Blyton's best-loved series Perfect for children aged 5 and up. Mollie and Peter are home for the summer holidays, and they long to see their pixie friend Binky and their magic Wishing-Chair. They can't wait for lots of new and exciting adventures, but then the Wishing-Chair is stolen by some very cheeky characters. Whatever will the children do? First published in 1950, this edition contains the classic text, except that the pixie character's name has been changed to Binky. Inside illustrations are by Rene Cloke, and the cover is by Mark Beech.
The story begins when the two tired children arrive home from boarding school to see their dear wishing chair and Chinky the pixie. Mollie and Peter were going to the Land of Treats, The Land of Surprises and Mr Grim's School for Bad Brownies where they rescue Winks and go to lots more lands. When I read this book I found it exciting and in some adventures it was pretty alarming. The story was so interesting that it made me read on and on so that once I started reading I couldn't stop until I finished it! It had a nice ending. It made me ask myself "If the Wishing Chair series is so good, why not read all of Enid Blyton's books?" I just had to read them all! Now I'm on the search for Enid Blyton books. You've got to read these books too and I suggest you read The Adventures of the Wishing Chair first then read The Wishing Chair Again and last of all More Wishing Chair Adventures. I think you should try one. (Review by Isabella)

I read Enid Blyton's The Wishing Chair and the Wishing Chair Again when I was a child. I loved them. The brother and sister (Peter & Mollie) discovered a magical chair that can fly when it grows its wings. They also met a Pixie named Chinky who goes with them on their adventures and helps them navigate fairyland. I'm currently reading this book to my 4 1/2 year old twins. They love it. They can't wait for bedtime so we can read more chapters. They also loved the Faraway Tree stories. I highly recommend these books to be read to 4 to 6 year olds. They have great values woven into the stories without being preachy.
