5.0�toiles sur 5 Time and Time Again, Juil 11 2001

Par	Haley Parnham (NJ) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Time Garden (Paperback)

Edward Eager continues to entertain decades after his death through his books about ordinary children who experience magic. THE TIME GARDEN was always one of my favorites (oh, okay, I admit it - I like all of Edward Eager's books and can't really pick a favorite). Roger, Ann, Eliza, and Jack encounter time traveling at its finest when they are exiled to spend the summer with old Mrs. Whiton. An interesting note, their mothers were two of the children in HALF MAGIC and MAGIC BY THE LAKE also by Eager. A bank of wild thyme in the garden opens doors to the past, present and future for these four delightful children. If it's imagination you are looking for, look no further. Edward Eager's books are witty and wild and funny. There is a certain degree of sophistication in his style of writing that makes these stories interesting even for the mature reader.

This review is from: Time Garden (Paperback)

In this sequel to Knight's Castle, the four kids - Roger, Ann, Eliza, and Jack - are together again, this time staying at the house of a distant relative, Mrs. Whiton. Mrs. Whiton just happens to have a rather extraordinary garden, which includes a sundial (inscribed "Anything can happen...when you've all the time in the world"), every variety of thyme known to man (except common), and a Natterjack. Naturally, time travel adventures ensue.

The Natterjack is a character reminiscent of the Psammead in E. Nesbit's The Five Children and It - he's an inherently magical creature with a great deal of power and the potential for good advice, but also a difficult personality with an ego and a temper. He's also a frog. And he gets the children into no end of trouble - like when he sings "Rule Britannia" in an American pub during the Revolution.

And Roger, Ann, and Eliza are just as nifty as they were in Knight's Castle. Jack, however, features rather less in The Time Garden, as he's plunged into the throes of adolescence and spends most of his time making phone calls. (Isn't it good to know that some things never change?)

The children, with the help of a little thyme, visit the ride of Paul Revere (with singing Natterjack), a stop on the Underground Railroad, and Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, among other adventures.

The book is fun, and funny, and you will have new feelings for thyme when you're finished with it. Lots of children would enjoy this book, and those adults who like children's literature will love The Time Garden.
