Tom's Midnight Garden

These audio editions, especially dramatised for BBC Radio, are of timeless stories that have enchanted generations of readers both young and old. The wonder and excitement of these much-loved tales live on in these acclaimed full-cast dramatisations, complete with evocative music and sound effects. Thirteen, proclaimed the clock, and stopped striking. Thirteen? Tomĺs mind gave a jerk ľ had it really struck thirteen? Even mad old clocks never struck that. He must have imagined it. But Tom Long, sent away to Aunt Gwen and Uncle Alanĺs house when his brother catches measles, did not imagine it. He ventures downstairs and, opening the back door, discovers not a poky yard filled with rubbish bins, but a lustrous garden with tall trees, flowerbeds, hedges and a greenhouse. Have his aunt and uncle deceived him? Tom realises they have no idea about the garden which only exists when the grandfather clock strikes thirteen. Suddenly, what seemed like a boring holiday becomes filled with adventures, as each night Tom sneaks downstairs into the garden. There are trees to climb, trails to follow and a young girl who becomes Tomĺs playmate . . . Una Stubbs and Crawford Logan star in this modern classic, which takes the listener to the heart of another age, in a unique exploration of time and its influence in all our lives.
