To avoid catching measles, Tom is sent away to boring old relatives for the summer, but then, lying in bed one night the old grandfather clock in the hall strikes the very strange hour of 13 o'clock. What can it mean? As Tom creeps down the stairs and opens the door, he finds a magical garden, a new playmate, and the adventure of a lifetime . . .
Intelligent writing, an innovative plot, and immensely imaginative writing have made the haunting and magical Tom's Midnight Garden one of the best-loved children's books ever written with its complex and engaging story withstanding the test of time.
