Book Review:
''The first real adventure we've ever had in our lives!'' said Mollie, in delight. ''Oh, Peter, to think we've got a magic chair—a wishing-chair!'' So begins one of Enid Blyton's most beloved magical adventures—a story that has been enchanting young readers for generations.

Mollie and Peter are ordinary children looking for a birthday present for their mother when they stumble into a strange old shop. There they discover the most extraordinary thing: a chair that can grow wings and fly! They name it the Wishing-Chair, and from that moment, their lives are filled with the most wonderful adventures.

The Wishing-Chair takes them to magical lands and places they've only dreamed of. They visit the giant's castle, where they must rescue a new friend, Chinky the pixie. They fly to magical parties, meet all sorts of wonderful creatures, and face exciting challenges along the way.

What makes this book so special is its boundless imagination and sense of wonder. Each chapter brings a new adventure, a new magical place, a new friend to meet. Blyton's writing is warm and engaging, making young readers feel like they're right there with Mollie and Peter on their magical journeys.

This Hinkler Books edition is beautifully presented and part of a collection that includes other Blyton classics like ''The Enchanted Wood,'' ''The Magic Faraway Tree,'' and ''Naughty Amelia Jane!''

''Adventures of the Wishing Chair'' is perfect for young readers aged 5-8. It's ideal for reading aloud to younger children or for those beginning to read independently. A magical book that will make every child wish they had their own wishing-chair. Highly recommended.
