My son and I have been reading this as his 'before bed story'. It took a couple of months as some nights he didn't want to read it (he is almost 6). His interest in it strengthened as the story went on.
I remember reading it to myself as a child and was completely enchanted by it, so I thought it would capture his interest in the same way. Perhaps childrens' tastes have changed?
Tammylan was definitely his favourite character and I suspect that the magic of the story will stay with him and will r...more

Kayanya seehh.. gua pernah baca nih buku, hasil pinjaman dari temen gua, huehehe..
And I love it!
Gua suka cara Enid menggambarkan kehidupan di peternakan, and seriously abis baca buku ini gua jadi pengen punya peternakan, huahaha..
Enak kali yee bisa mandiin kerbau, merah susu sapii terus nguber2 babi yang asyik main lumpur lalu ngasih makan ayam plus ngumpulin telurnya tiap pagi, aahh aahh..
Living in farm can be so much fun, well.. at least dari cerita di buku ini sih sepertinya seruu, ahahaha :D

Enid Blyton books are notable for their 'life is perfect and nothing goes wrong that can't be fixed' tales. Sadly this is one of those. While I enjoyed it as a child, even when I was 12 I began to rant about the improbability of the perfection of this world. It's a good book for kids, interesting enough to hold their attention yet sedate enough to ensure they aren't inspired by the book's contents to go forth and perform crimes etc.
the best books ever....children of cherry tree farm and children of willow tree farm!!!
Another wonderful book of hers that I love. It has wonderful descriptions and characters.
My first book(well actually my first book which i understood completely). It was awesome.
my favouriteee childhood book. read it over 10 times.
I actually believed that eating enough apples from an apple tree would make me rosy and apple-cheeked. Cherry Tree and Willow Farms were my childhood utopias. Go on, sue me.

Such a quiet, cosy little book! Simply, the children are sent to live with their aunt and uncle on Cherry Tree farm, and there they meet Tammylan, the "wild man", who teaches them about animals. No rip-roaring adventures - I kept expecting there to be smugglers or poachers hiding in the woods that the children would have to beat, but no! And still, it was a charming, delightful read.

Just to clarify: I loved these books as a kid, but I probably would not recommend them for people over 10 or 11. They are lovely classics to curl up with now and then just to relive a bit of your childhood though.
I've read Willow Farm, the sequel, but only recently managed to find a copy of this one. It's much the same as all Enid Blyton's happy family farm stories. Just what I needed for a lazy Sunday afternoon read.
The first Enid Blyton book I ever read. A pleasant story with laudable if overidealized messages about rural life and respecting nature.
still 5 stars what a fab book, loved it all over again
now for Willow Tree farm...

Born in 1897 in South London, Enid Mary Blyton was the eldest of three children, and showed an early interest in music and reading. She was educated at St. Christopher's School, Beckenham, and - having decided not to pursue her music - at Ipswich High School, where she trained as a kindergarten teacher. She taught for five years before her 1924 marriage to editor Hugh Pollock, with whom she had tw...more
