The Wishing-Chair (series)
The Wishing-Chair is a series of two novels by the English author Enid Blyton, and a third book published in 2000 compiled from Blyton's short stories. The three children's stories are as follows: The first book, "Adventures of the Wishing-Chair", has the distinction of being Enid Blyton's first full-length novel — although it is episodic in nature. A TV series was made in 1998 as part of Enid Blytons Enchanted Lands. Section::::"The Wishing-Chair Again". It's the first day of the summer holidays and Peter and Mollie are dying to  go on more adventures with their Wishing-Chair. Peter inadvertently asks to go to the land of "Goodness-Knows-Where", but in the process of going there the Wishing-Chair is stolen. They eventually get it back and a few days later, the Wishing-Chair only grows three wings. They end up in the Land of Slipperies and when Peter offends one of them, they retaliate by chopping all the chair's wings off, so they get some ointment which grows the wings back. On the next rainy day, they inadvertedly grow wings on their toys and the toys end  up at Mr Grim's school where mischievous brownies are sent. They befriend a brownie called Winks and successfully get Mr Grim to relinquish the toys. Winks takes up residence in Peter and Mollie's house and they take him on adventures, but on the last day of the holidays, he is sent back to Mr Grim's school for being too naughty. Section::::"More Wishing-Chair Stories". In this final book, Mollie and Peter are home for the half-term holiday and Winks and the Wishing-Chair are ready to fly away with them to magical lands. They visit the  Land of Wishes, the Land of Scally-Wags and help Santa Claus deliver presents on Christmas Eve. Published in 2000, the book is a compilation of stories made up from removed chapters of the previous books as well as material from "Sunny Stories" and "Enid Blyton's Omnibus!" Television adaptation. An animated series, "Enid Blyton's Enchanted Lands", based on stories from "The Wishing Chair" and "The Faraway Tree" series was broadcast in 1997 and 1998.
