Set off a magical adventure with the first book in Enid Blyton’s classic fantasy series about a chair that can fly and grant wishes!
When Mollie and Peter go to buy their mother a birthday present, they discover the most extraordinary thing: a magical wishing-chair! The Wishing-Chair takes them on some wonderful adventures – to a giant’s castle to rescue a new pixie friend, to the Land of Dreams, and even to a disappearing island! Who knows what might happen next?
First published in 1937, 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.
Enid Blyton’s books have sold over 500 million copies and have been translated into other languages more often than any other children’s author.
She wrote over 700 books and about 2,000 short stories, including favourites such as The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Magic Faraway Tree, Malory Towers and Noddy.
Born in London in 1897, Enid lived much of her life in Buckinghamshire and adored dogs, gardening and the countryside. She died in 1968 but remains one of the world’s best-loved storytellers.
