Book Reviews of The Time Garden

Book Review: The title is just the beginning...
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved this book as a child, and still do as an adult. I've created a thyme garden (complete with Natterjack and sundial) in my own yard in homage. The play on words in the title is a mere hint of the delights to be found inside, and I do wish Mr. Eager had lived to write more of his utterly charming books. I recently loaned this to an adult friend with some trepidation, but she LOVED it, and requested everything by Mr. Eager I own. These books can be enjoyed by both adults and children and what higher praise for a children's book is there?

Travelling in time with the four children from Knight's Castle, the reader visits a house in the Underground Railroad, the March family from Little Women and the courts of Elizabethan and Victorian England, as well as a side trip that readers of Half Magic will recognize. As always, the characters have unexpected quirks, and the children get themselves into some pretty bad messes, only to be rescued by the venerable old Natterjack who grumbles at the effort, but always comes through. Funny, literate and enchanting, this book should appeal to everyone!
