Product Description

Forced to stay with his childless aunt and uncle for the summer holidays, Tom is lonely and cross. There isn't even a garden to play in. But when he creeps down at midnight and opens a certain door, there is the garden he longs for. There too is Hatty, the adventurous, lonely orphan who, like the garden itself, is touched by mystery. Why is one day summer, another sparkling winter?

Will Tom ever meet Hatty in daytime life? And can Tom find the answers to these questions before he must go home? Read by Jan Francis

All children should be given the chance to read this book. It was the favourite story of my childhood. It is a beautiful, haunting evocative story of childhood, growing up, adulthood and old age. It's also sad, in a happy kind of way, if that makes sense. It's a story of life. It's beautifully written, and a haunting evocation of a place, a garden, long ago - so powerfully drawn you feel you know every area of it - the nut stubbs, the greenhouse, the meadow, the sundial wall and the stream and so forth, that it comes alive in your mind - the old fir tree, that Hatty used to like to stand under in a high wind, and feel the roots "pulling like muscles" under her feet - so wonderfully drawn you'll not want to leave it's world. It's a part of my life, forever.

This is a true classic for all time. Buy it today.

Tom is sent away to his aunt and uncles flat for the summer holidays. The flat has no other children living there or any garden. Tom is angry and alone there, what his uncle calls Tom's ten hours sleep,Tom spends awake in bed, until he hears the grandfather clock striking thirteen.The hour thirteen brings an escape to a magical garden with trees, a river,bushes, a sundial and a large lawn. Tom's meets people there and makes a friend called Hatty there do lots of thigs there. But there is a disagreement between which of them is a ghost? I love this book I think it's very hard to put down and extremely magical. It is probably my favourite classic book, as nearly all your questions get answered. Best suited for children age 8 and over....you just have to read this!!

Essential reading, 22 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback
A beautiful and tradtional story of magic, freindship & growing up. Adored by my children, loved by me.
Every school shelf should be stocked with this classic and every home shelf too.
When the trend for books is to 'gross out' young readers, this story reminds us that there is and always will be space for beautifully written well told enchanting stories.

An Absolute Classic
This has been a most successful class book with 9 - 11 year old pupils. There is a cracking story, well-defined characters and a great 'twist' at the end. Read more
