Overview
Whisk your young reader away on eight magical mini-adventures with The Wishing-Chair Short Story Collection by Enid Blyton. Mollie and Peter's enchanted flying chair carries them to royal palaces, goblin villages and even Santa's workshop in this charming paperback box set. Perfectly sized stories suit bedtime, car journeys or a child's first chapter books. A timeless slice of British children's fiction, this set introduces a new generation to a beloved storyteller in a lovely gift-ready collection.
About the Books
This paperback box set gathers eight Wishing-Chair short stories, each a bite-sized adventure for developing readers. In Off on a Holiday Adventure, Mollie and Peter discover the extraordinary flying, wish-granting chair while shopping for their mother's birthday present. From there, the siblings and pixie friend Binky tumble into ever more inventive scrapes: attending The Royal Birthday Party as prince and princess, staging A Daring School Rescue from a school for bad brownies, and hunting for The Witch's Lost Cat, Whiskers. Half-term brings fresh escapades in Home for Half-Term, while Santa Claus and the Wishing-Chair sees the children helping Father Christmas mend his sleigh. A stolen ring sends them chasing goblins in The Goblin and The Lost Ring, and the set closes with A Summertime Mystery, a windswept trip to a disappearing island and a mysterious wizard. Each story stands alone, so children can dip in and out without losing the thread, while the recurring cast provides comforting familiarity. Blyton's brisk pacing and vivid imagination make these stories excellent for reading aloud or independent practice, and the light paperback format is easy to pack for trips and school bags.
