In 1997, The Faraway Tree was adapted into the first season of Enid Blyton's Enchanted Lands, an animated series created for the BBC by Cosgrove Hall. This happens to the protagonists more often than not, but they find various ways to get back to the tree by travelling through other lands to get back to the enchanted forest, or by using magic. If you aren't quick enough to climb back down the Faraway Tree before the land moves on, you will be stuck there until the land happens to move back to the top of the tree. Some lands will only stay for an hour or so, but other lands will stay for days, and even the time that will elapse between one land leaving and the next arriving is undefined. Each land moves away from the tree to make way for the next one, the length of time a land will stay seems to vary.

The lands themselves vary from nice lands, like 'The Land of Birthdays' or 'The Land of Take-What-You-Want', to not so nice lands like 'The Land of Punishments' or 'The Land of Tempers'. The topmost branches of the Faraway Tree reach up into the clouds, and are used to access various magical 'lands' that appear amongst the clouds. It's easily the biggest tree in the entire forest, and is home to various fairy folk who live inside the trunk. While out exploring, they discover an enchanted forest, where the eponymous Faraway Tree grows. The series follows the adventures of Jo, Bessie and Fanny (renamed Joe, Beth and Frannie in later reprints), three siblings who have just moved to the countryside with their parents. The Faraway Tree is a series of three novels (and one picture-strip book) by British children's author Enid Blyton. Fanny, singing about climbing the Faraway Tree.
