{"product_id":"9780544671690","title":"The Time Garden","description":"\u003cbr\u003eSince \u003ci\u003eHalf Magic\u003c\/i\u003e first hit bookshelves in 1954, Edward Eager’s Tales of Magic have become beloved classics. Now all seven cherished stories by Edward Eager about vacationing cousins who stumble into magical doings and whimsical adventures are available in updated paperback editions. The original lively illustrations by N. M. Bodecker have been retained, but eye-catching new cover art gives these classics a fresh, contemporary look for a whole new generation. Time and again, the children from \u003ci\u003eKnight's Castle \u003c\/i\u003ehave longed for another magic adventure. But you can't find magic just\u003ci\u003e anywhere.\u003c\/i\u003e It doesn't just grow like \u003ci\u003egrass.\u003c\/i\u003e It requires the right place and the right time— Or \u003ci\u003ethyme,\u003c\/i\u003e as the case may be. For at Mrs. Whiton's house, magic grows wild as the fragrant banks of thyme in her garden. Eliza insists that time doesn't grow, it \u003ci\u003eflies\u003c\/i\u003e—yet growing in the garden is olden time, future time, and common time. Or so says the Natterjack, the odd toadlike creature who presides over the garden and accompanies the kids on a series of perilous, hilarious, always unpredictable adventures. \"Anything can happen,\" the Natterjack says with a wink, \"when you have all the time in the world.\"","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012470358256,"sku":"9780544671690","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780544671690_p0.jpg?v=1769896039","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780544671690","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
