Moonface's Story (The Magic Faraway Tree)

Product Information

They befriend many of the residents and have adventures in magical lands that visit the top of the tree. I just used a recipe from delightful adventures that I use all the time - I’ve never had it not work. As touched upon, quite a few of the funny situations in the Faraway Tree stories are caused by Saucepan's minimal hearing ability and, added to other peculiar happenings, there is an endless supply of material to stimulate the reader's interest. Over the years, the Faraway Tree stories have been illustrated by various artists including Dorothy M. In 1997, stories from the novels were adapted into animated ten-minute episodes for the TV series Enid Blyton's Enchanted Lands.

Spoon the glaze over the tops of the buns and either allow to sit and harden or eat them fresh and sticky.I’m quite terrible with knowing the dimensions of my baking tins, so I have no idea what I used - find something that will fit roughly 9-12 hot cross buns in it.

Further up they meet the little elf known as Silky and Dick thinks she is the loveliest creature he has ever seen. Now the scene is set for the children to do what the Faraway Tree books are all about — visiting one land after another and experiencing adventures.
