Tom’s brother, Peter, has contracted measles. To keep him safe, Tom has been sent to live with Uncle Alan & Aunt Gwen. Quarantined to the boring apartment, he writes letters to his brother. One night, as he lies in bed, the old grandfather clock strikes thirteen and prompts him to get up. Opening the back door he finds the most beautiful garden and makes a friend. But how can that be? There isn’t a garden during the day. And why is the time different there than in the apartment? Based on a classic written by Philippa Pearce and largely told through letters from Tom to Peter, this story will have you fascinated to the very end.
