Listen "By the Book: Children's Book Club - The Magic Faraway Tree"
Episode Synopsis
As Children's Day in Malaysia is traditionally celebrated every last Saturday of October, we're celebrating children's literature this entire month, by doing a Book Club with a different child every week. In this episode, we're joined by 8-year-old Declan Goh, whose pick is a perennial favourite of children worldwide: Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree. We talk about what Declan enjoys about the book, but also speculate about what the tree itself could be (a portal? A gateway to different dimensions?). Declan also shares some lands and creations that he'd like to see, in the Faraway Tree universe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
