From Folio Society's 2009 Catalogue: "Since its publication in 1958, Tom’s Midnight Garden has been sending tingles down the spines of children, confirming Philippa Pearce’s reputation as one of the finest writers of her generation. Young Tom, spending the holidays with his aunt and uncle, discovers a magical world where geese wreak havoc in the flowerbeds, a gardener tends his plants and vegetables, and children play games he doesn’t know. When one of the children reveals that she can see and hear him, Tom’s adventure really begins. This is a wonderfully moving mystery for children and Susan Einzig’s engravings perfectly encapsulate the magic of Pearce’s world. The enduring appeal of Tom’s Midnight Garden lies in the universal desire to make time stand still."
