What do You think about Adventures Of The Wishing Chair (2015)?
The Adventures of the Wishing-Chair, by Enid Blyton, is a children's novel first published in 1937 in which two siblings, Mollie and Peter, acquire a special chair that occasionally grows wings on its legs, at which time it is able to fly anywhere with the children (and their pixie friend Chinky) aboard. Of course, they have silly adventures, mostly in the realms of fantasy creatures, but it's all good fun and a snappy read. I was a bit worried about potential racism in the book because of the era in which it was written, but thankfully there is none (the pixie's name has no anti-Asian associations, it's just the pixie's name). The edition that I found was published in England in 2005 and I'm not sure who the audience would be, as it's much too old-fashioned for today's children, but it's an entertaining little read despite that; mildly recommended.
