“The Time Garden”

Edward Eager

The minute I looked at the title I thought it was just another fairy tale, but boy, was I wrong! This is a marvelous story. One sniff of the thyme and the magic begins.

Eliza, Ann, Roger and Jack find the Natterjack (a creature in a frog’s form) and run off on an amazing adventure through time and space. They find out what really happened long ago and save people just like them. Any boring day can be turned into an astounding journey if they go into the garden. People of all ages, kid or adult, will want to be in the magical adventures.
