Can somebody confirm that there is a children’s book series or maybe just one book about a flying chair? It may be by a British author and was available in the 1960s. If so, what is the name and is it still in print?

Could it be Granny’s Wonderful Chair by Frances Browne?
Enid Blyton’s ‘Wishing-Chair’ stories? If so, still in print, available singly or in various sets.
Two Possibilities:
The Wishing Chair by Enid Blyton
The Kingdom of Carbonel by Barbara Sleigh
The Wishing Chair series by Enid Blyton. The chair periodically grows wings on its legs.

Could this be Enid Blyton: Adventures of the Wishing Chair?
Enid Blyton wrote about the Magic Wishing Chair, where two children were whisked off on adventures on a wooden chair which they kept in a playhouse at the bottom of their garden. Could that be it?
The Kingdom of Carbonel by Barbara Sleigh? It has an enchanted rocking chair.
Adventures of the Wishing Chair by Enid Blyton
The Wishing Chair series by Enid Blyton. The chair periodically grows small wings on it’s legs, and takes 2 siblings to different magical places.
I believe this is The Silver Chair by Enid Blyton
Sorry, The Wishing Chair!
