The Time GardenFrom the moment Roger, Ann, Eliza, and Jack discover the fragrant bank of wild thyme in old Mrs. Whiton's garden, magic begins. The thyme garden opens the way to olden time, future time, and common time. Though Eliza says time doesn't grow - it flies - the Nutterjack, the odd creature who presides over the garden, says anything can happen when you have all the time in the world. The four children are plunged into exhilirating, always unpredictable adventures - meeting the Revolutionary Minutemen, Queen Elizabeth I, and even their own parents when they were children. "The Time Garden" will capture the imagination of anyone who has ever wished for all the time in the world. |
