Learn all about the different characters from the Faraway Tree books. In the beginning I will introduce only the main 9 or 10 characters, but also a description of some of the people from the strange lands up in the clouds will soon appear. If you have some good information, comments, or maybe your own description of some of the folks, you are welcome to mail them to me.

how old are the folks in the tree?
by johansrk
We learn a lot about the people in the tree an wood and lands. But how old do you think they are.
Can their age be compared to human age, or can Silky for example be much older than what a normal human can become.

The Tree, itself
by The Angry Pixie
What a marvellous tree. So alive, changing all the time. What glorious times we could have there. I have searched for the Enchanted Forest - if only it were near me!
Apart from myself, (I'm not really that angry!) I love Moon-Face and Old Saucepan Man. Silky is also a treasure. Even old Watzisname can be good company. Good old Dame Washalot is so good at attending to my laundry!
As Saucepanman said to me earlier:
Two goats for the larder,
Two tyres for the van,
Two scarves for the leopards,
And I'm a great man!"

JO
The boy Jo is one of the three children that live nearby the Enchanted Wood and the Faraway Tree. He is the eldest of the tree children and also the only boy. His hair is blond, and he has blue eyes. He is about ??? years old. He is a clever kid and also the most responsible one; or at least that is the role that feels natural to him and his two sisters.
In early versions of the faraway tree his clothes is very fancy. He is wearing a white shirt, a tie, blue shorts, and white socks that reach his knees. Luckily his clothes changes already in the Magic Faraway Tree by DEAN back in 1971, to what seems more proper for outdoor play and climbing trees.
He has a great passion for trains and other kinds of machines like aeroplanes, which seems quite typical for boys in that age. In some of the countries the children reach, he even gets the possibility to try to drive or fly for alone. For example in the land of do as you please, he runs a train with passengers, and in the land of take what you want, he flies an aeroplane.
