Tom's Midnight Garden Graphic Novel

If you know the original written book well, this comic book style of retelling this story is exquisitely matched in both its illustrations and its succinct use of words from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult as did the children. This can be read in one short sitting (whereas the original - when it was read to each child - obviously took longer but was just as enticing to read aloud and continuously...if it wasn't time to actually go to sleep back then!). My children were in their primary school years and are strong, confident readers. The original book was read first. Purchased this illustrated version end 2023 - age range 10,13 and older.

Beautifully illustrated and composed book with a good synopsis of the story. I recommend reading the novel first to fully appreciate the plot. This is a gift for my eight-year-old granddaughter who has read the book and likes graphic novels. Hopefully she will enjoy this.

I read the original version of this book over 40 years ago in grade school. The story greatly affected me. I loved it. As time went by, I forgot the title and the author, but one day my wife found the book in the local library and identified it based on my description of the story that I talked to her about for over 40 years. When this graphic novel came out, I just had to have a copy of it as well. My favorite book of all time.

A modern classic which every child should read but this graphic novel version surely can be an aid in their imaginings. Loved the illustrations!!

This is a wonderful graphic novel based on a book from the 1950's. Perfect for adults and children. Great price and great delivery.
