1958 - Oxford University Press, London - First Edition
A finely bound first edition of one of the best-loved children’s books ever written. Illustrated throughout with twenty-seven of Susan Einzig’s best known line drawings. Winner of the prestigious Carnegie Medal.

Described by the
Independent as a ‘masterpiece of English children's literature’ and by the The Times as ‘a story that came to be loved by children, parents and teachers everywhere’.

‘When Tom is sent to stay at his aunt and uncle's house for the summer, he resigns himself to endless weeks of boredom. As he lies awake in his bed he hears the grandfather clock downstairs strike . . . eleven . . . twelve . . . thirteen . . .

Thirteen! Tom races down the stairs and out the back door, into a garden everyone told him wasn't there. In this enchanted thirteenth hour, the garden comes alive - but Tom is never sure whether the children he meets there are real or ghosts.’ [OUP]
