BBC Radio 4 Extra - Enid Blyton - The Magic Faraway Tree, Up the Tree Again

The children venture up once again through the hole in the cloud in Enid Blyton's classic.

The children venture up once again through the hole in the cloud. Stars Johnny Vegas, Nigel Planer and Lucy Beaumont.

Wisha, wisha, wisha.

Playfulness, soundscape and oddity above the rustling leaves of Enid Blyton's Magic Faraway Tree.

In the centre of the Enchanted Wood is the Faraway Tree. Home to Moonface, Silky and Saucepan Man, its upper branches stretch into cloud-hosted dimensions of strange and magical lands.

In this two-part abridged adaptation of Enid Blyton's classic children's tale, BBC Radio 4 swoops voices from the world of entertainment into the mystical lands above.

Featuring Johnny Vegas, as Moonface, Nigel Planer as Saucepan and Lucy Beaumont (Winner of the BBC's New Comedy Awards 2012) as Silky.
