Product Details:
| Adopted from Philippa Pearce’s much-loved 1958 children’s classic. Tom’s Midnight Garden is a daring adventure deep into the heart of innocence and childhood imagination. With his brother Peter enduring the misery of measles at home, 14-year-old Tom Long (Anthony Way) is whisked from harm’s way to live with his Aunt Gwen (Greta Scacchi) and Uncle Alan (James Wilby) in a typical English flat without the benefit of a garden retreat. Restless and without exercise, one day Tom makes a remarkable discovery – when, after midnight, Gwen and Alan’s clock strikes thirteen, transforming the squalid alley behind their home into a scenic wonderland bristling with the promise of adventure. Here he meets Hatty (Florence Hoath), a 12-year-old orphan girl who challenges Tom to embark on the journey of his young life. Also featuring Oscar nominee Joan Plowright (Enchanted April) as Mrs Bartholomew. Tom’s Midnight Garden is a timeless classic, in the great literary tradition of C.S. Lewis, Enid Blyton and Frances Hodgson Burnett. |
