The perfect Springtime book, with lovely prose that truly encapsulates the feeling of seeing a garden burst out of the seemingly dead earth.

This wonderfully lovely book falls alongside other children's classics like “Anne of Green Gables” and “Chronicles of Narnia”. The magic in it is on the “Anne” scale, not so much the “Narnia” scale, but all three give me a similar warm, nostalgic feeling.

Loved the progression of the characters and the way the author understood the mindset and perspective of children in such a situation. Truly worthy of being called a classic!
