Yes. The story is identical across all editions of the book. This edition contains the original text and is published by Hachette Children's Group.
It is written for children aged 5 and up. The short chapters and simple language make it suitable for early readers, and the story works well as a read-aloud book for parents and children to enjoy together.
Connie, a spoilt girl, comes to stay with Joe, Beth, and Frannie. She refuses to believe in the Faraway Tree or its magical inhabitants. When she listens to a secret she was not meant to hear, her voice is taken away in the Land of Secrets, and she learns an important lesson.
