Wisha, wisha, wisha.
Playfulness, soundscape and oddity above the rustling leaves of Blyton's Magic Faraway Tree.
In the centre of the Enchanted Wood is the Faraway Tree. Home to Moonface, Silky and Saucepan Man; its upper branches stretch into cloud-hosted dimensions of strange and magical lands.
In this two-part abridged adaptation of Enid Blyton's classic children's tale, 麻豆社 Radio 4 swoops voices from the world of entertainment into the mystical lands above.
Featuring Johnny Vegas as Moonface, Nigel Planer as Saucepan and Lucy Beaumont (Winner of the 麻豆社's New Comedy Awards 2012) as Silky.
