The River of Adventure. The Adventure series is infinitely superior to the FFs in my opinion.

The River of Adventure or The Enchanted Wood.

The Enchanted Wood. I prefer the Adventure series in general, but the River is not my favourite.

The Enchanted Wood or Rubbalong Tales?

The Enchanted Wood. It's timeless.

The Enchanted Wood or The Wishing Chair Again?

I love both, but for sheer excitement and intrigue, I'd have to say Valley!

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
