Filed in archive Nintendo DS by Stephen Lunn on December 9, 2009
Enid Blyton’s legendary series of novels, The Faraway Tree are to be made available on Nintendo DS, EA Games have revealed in the Telegraph. The books, written in the 1930s and ‘40s, have stood the test of time and are to be given a new lease of life, making them available to children in the DS’ latest piece of innovation.

The reader only has to insert one FLIP chip, containing about seven novels and costing around £25, and they are able to read the book page by page.
