The Time Garden by Edward Eager

The Time Garden by Edward Eager

Since Half Magic first hit bookshelves in 1954, Edward Eager's Tales of Magic have become beloved classics. Now all seven cherished stories by Edward Eager about vacationing cousins who stumble into magical doings and whimsical adventures are available in updated paperback editions. The original lively illustrations by N. M. Bodecker have been retained, but eye-catching new cover art gives these classics a fresh, contemporary look for a whole new generation.

Time and again, the children from Knight's Castle have longed for another magic adventure. But you can't find magic just anywhere. It doesn't just grow like grass. It requires the right place and the right time--
Or thyme, as the case may be.
For at Mrs. Whiton's house, magic grows wild as the fragrant banks of thyme in her garden. Eliza insists that time doesn't grow, it flies--yet growing in the garden is olden time, future time, and common time. Or so says the Natterjack, the odd toadlike creature who presides over the garden and accompanies the kids on a series of perilous, hilarious, always unpredictable adventures. Anything can happen, the Natterjack says with a wink, when you have all the time in the world.

Edward Eager (1911-1964) was a writer and lyricist who lived from 1911 to 1964. He didn't start writing children's stories until 1951, when he was looking for books to read to his little kid. Quentin Blake is an internationally acclaimed illustrator who has created over 200 award-winning books, including several Roald Dahl classics. He is based in London.
