Renowned graphic novel artist, Edith, has created an enchanting version of the classic Tom's Midnight Garden. Tom thought a summer spent with his aunt and uncle in the country would be boring. But when their landlady's ancient grandfather clock strikes thirteen times. Tom is transported back in time to a beautiful garden, where he meets a young girl named Hatty. Tom and Hatty's time in the garden is almost too good to be true--full of adventure, mystery, magic, and boundless fun. And as the summer draws to a close, Tom desperately searches for a way to stay in the garden with Hatty forever.
A beautiful adaptation of the classic novel. This is a new and special way to read and share one of the best-loved and most enduring children's stories of all time. A story with a special place in the hearts of grandparents, parents, and children everywhere, this wonderful graphic novel adaptation is faithful, accessible, and stunningly illustrated.
