Product Description
Synopsis
But it is, said Griselda, getting rather vexed. "If it isn't a garden it's grounds, private grounds, and nobody should come without leave. This path leads down to the wood, and there's a door in the wall at the bottom to get into the lane. You may go down that way, little boy. No one comes scrambling up the way you did."

Format:Paperback
I have this book in a leather-bound edition, published at the turn of the century. It was part of the magic of my childhood, and I would recommend it to any child, girl or boy, who wants to have a fantastic adventure and learn a lesson about making the best of a bad situation. It's an unforgettable story, and the illustrations are beautiful. I urge everyone to buy it -- whatever your age is!

The Best of the Best
3 Dec 2004
Format:Paperback
Alice, Peter, Dorothy, the Wardrobe, half-magic . . . all on quests in magical places. But this one is the best and the most meaningful. Alone, Griselda is be-friended by magical creatures--not unlike imaginary friends--until she finds strength within herself and her real world. This old book never gained the notariety of others, but is far more enchanting, well-written, and touching than those that became more fashionable. It is a book that many readers claim changed their lives. It entertains and touches the hearts of young and old.

I don't believe you could give a better gift. . .

Format:Paperback
than "The Cuckoo Clock" to an imaginative child of the proper age! While its tales-within-tales were lovely, what really caught me were the evocative details of the little heroine's surroundings. I realize my love for potpourri, nodding "Mandarin" porcelains, and yes, even cuckoo clocks were formed as I read this book.
