The Magic Faraway Tree Team on Bringing a 1940s Family Adventure Into the Modern Era The Magic Faraway Tree, an adaptation of Enid Blyton's 1940s children's novels, has been reimagined for modern audiences.
Director Ben Gregor and stars Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy argue that Simon Barnaby's screenwriting brings the original's messages about adventure and family to a contemporary context.
The film follows three siblings who move to the English countryside and discover a magical tree that transports them to fantastical realms.
