What does the Pageticker team say about The Wishing-Chair Again?

The Wishing-Chair Again is classic Enid Blyton: a flying chair, magical lands, oddball creatures and enough peril to keep Mollie and Peter busy. The episodic adventures are wonderfully imaginative and well suited to children who enjoy short, self-contained chapters, though the language and attitudes can feel old-fashioned in places, so grown-ups may want to talk about them rather than let them whizz past unnoticed.
