Summary
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! Perfect for children aged five and up.
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 recording is based on the classic text, except that the pixie character's name has been changed to Binky.

A lovely engaging tale for my 4 year old
My son adores this story and has listened to it many times. The adventures of the children with their wishing chair and their little pixie friend Binkie helping g them get into and out of scrapes keep him highly engaged.
