The Garden Behind the Moon by Howard Pyle

The Garden Behind the Moon by Howard Pyle

A lot of people wonder what's on the other side of the moon. Young David -- a dreamy young boy -- actually finds out. To get there, he has to walk on a shimmering moon-beam -- a rather daunting experience at first, but made easier with the help of the Moon-Angel. Once there, he meets the Man-in-the-Moon, discovers a magical garden, battles a terrible giant, and brings lost treasures back to Earth.
Well known for his stories of King Arthur and Robin Hood, Howard Pyle transports young readers to a different time and place in this beautifully told tale. It's an unforgettable faraway world -- where children play and no one ever cries. The book, says author Elizabeth Nesbitt, makes Pyle a peer of the classic writers in the field of fantasy.
