A wonderful, classic story.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tom's Midnight Garden (Paperback)
All children should be given the chance to read this book. It was the favourite story of my childhood. It is a beautiful, haunting evocative story of childhood, growing up, adulthood and old age. It's also unbearably sad, in a happy kind of way, if that makes sense. It's the story of life. It's beautifully written, and a haunting evocation of a place, a garden, long ago - so powerfully written you'll feel you'll come to know every corner of it - the nut stubbs, the greenhouse, the meadow, the sundial wall and the stream and so forth, that it comes alive in your mind - the old fir tree, that Hatty used to like to stand under in a high wind, and feel the roots "pulling like muscles" under her feet - so wonderfully drawn you'll not want to leave it's world. You can read it when a child and appreciate it, and also as an adult and view it from a different perspective, of a story of a bored boy and one very lonely little girl, and how their friendship transcends even time itself. The ending is so powerful, so moving that it'll have you in tears, and yet it's treated without sentimentality and without condescending to it's readers, of any age. This book is a part of my life, forever.This is a true classic for all time. Buy it today.

Beautiful, magical, classic,
By John Kong "John" (Skull Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tom's Midnight Garden (Paperback)
This really is a beautiful, haunting, magical, classic book. I was so happy I discovered it as a kid because I had heard nothing about it and haven't since. I highly recommend reading it. It has a really nice feel to it and she's a good writer. Satisfying ending, too.

Wonderful Book,
By Suzanne (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tom's Midnight Garden: Anniversary Edition (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book for children. I read it as a child and could not remember the name but kept searching for it and finally found it. I purchased it for my children this past Christmas. They're not quite ready for it but I hope they will love it as much as I did. (I read it again as soon as I received it, and still loved it.)Tom's Midnight Garden: Anniversary Edition
