Banished to his Aunt and Uncle's house in order to avoid catching measles from his brother, Tom is not looking forward to the school holidays. Convinced he is going to be bored rigid staying in their house with no other children around, he is amazed when, one night, the grandfather clock strikes thirteen and he finds himself in a beautiful and mysterious garden. This event marks the beginning of a summer Tom will never forget. He starts a journey that will take him through the boundaries of time and reality to Queen Victoria's reign and into the life of a little girl called Hatty. Tom's Midnight Garden is for everyone aged 4 and over.
