Tales of the Magic Tree: Up the Magic Tree

Don't wait for a miracle, climb up into the clouds for one! Do you still remember that feeling when the world around you was filled with unspoken magic? For Tom, Eva and Terezka, this feeling became a reality the moment they crossed the moat of the Enchanted Forest. When they move from the city to the countryside, they expect boredom - but instead they discover a forest where the trees whisper softly "Hear, hear, hear". In the middle of it stands the colossal Magic Tree, nature's version of a human skyscraper, its branches cutting through the sky. In its trunk live not squirrels, but the fairy Hedwig with her exploding honey cakes, the round Moon and the eternally tinkling engineer Boiling Castroll. But the biggest attraction lurks at the very top. Above the tree, magical lands alternate in the clouds as if on a treadmill. Do you want to visit Toyland or do you prefer to slide down the moon's giant spiral slide to the base of the tree? Each ascent to the crown promises an unprecedented adventure, but beware - the clouds are moving! And those who do not return in time may be stuck in a strange world for months. The world-famous classic of children's literature is back to reawaken an imagination that knows no bounds. Enid Blyton, originally a teacher, wrote the story on the eve of World War II. It offered children an escape into a world where the boundary between reality and fantasy is formed by a tree trunk. The book, which received a live-action adaptation in 2026, is a cornerstone of modern children's fantasy and one of the most important literary achievements of the author of The Right Five. "Dear, funny, A fun and mysterious book - it manages to give children just that, what they expect and what they're interested in." - from reader feedback on Databazeknih.cz "This is one of the best books ever!" - The Guardian "When I Close My Eyes, I remember the forest, the big tree, each branch and ladder at the top to a different country each time. An absolutely perfect book for a child's imagination." - from reader reviews on Databazeknih.cz "How could one not love it! Required reading for every kid and every adult who has a kid in them." - from reader reviews on Goodreads.com "The Magic Tree?!" Eve repeated in amazement. "And why is it magical? Are there magic wands growing on it?" "It's a very strange tree," interjected another of the elves quietly. "The apex touches distant worlds, but none of us knows by what key. Sometimes it reaches into the Land of Witches, sometimes into the Gardens of Eden, and sometimes into places that have never been seen before in their lives, so they don't even have a name. That's why we don't go up, because we don't know where we can get to!" "How strange!" exclaimed the children in the same breath. - excerpt from the book
