Excerpt from Polly Sees the World at War IT was a warm Spring day in late April, a sun shiny, comforting hopeful sort of day that half apologized for its sister days of wind and rain and promised the real beginning of Spring. In the city the people on the sidewalks hummed little snatches of song to themselves as they went about their work and remembered all the pleasant things that they had ever wanted to do. - Old plans long put away as impossible were brought out and eagerly reconsidered, for in the Spring every thing is possible. The sparrows Spluttered and splashed in the mud-puddles, and the dogs barked and chased them, frisky and joyous in spite of their repeated failures to catch them. All the world loves Spring, for it is the time of year when the spirit of adventure is strongest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xix good-by The next week, the Farwells and Polly bade farewell to Pixie's Haunt. It was a sad parting. The war had done much to bring them all near together in the common bond of sympathy, and work, and though no one mentioned it, they all felt that if things turned out as they hoped, Cyril and Lois would bind them still closer. Even Polly was a little depressed when the hour of actual leaving arrived. "I don't see why it didn't rain," she said crossly to Gerald. "It would have made going so much easier. But do look at this wasteful sunshine." They were in the automobile waiting in the court for the others. Gerald had come down purposely to run them up to London, where they would take the train to Liverpool. "What do you want it to rain for? We've had a deluge for three days," he said in answer to Polly. "Yes, and on any one of them I would have gladly gone, ' Polly returned. ' Anything sadder and drearier than that garden yesterday, I never saw, but to-day, why I want to be in it and stay in it." "Stay in what?" asked Genevieve, as she and Judy came across the lawn. "Bed?" "Goodness, no, the rose garden," Polly replied. "I'm just kicking about this glorious weather." "Don't--it may turn to rain, if it hears you," Genevieve begged; "and we do want the country to be cheerful when our Belgians arrive." "When do you expect them?" "In a day or two," Judy replied. "Twenty of them. Think of it, and some of them without hands." "Don't! I can't bear even to hear about it," Polly pleaded. "They'll keep you busy taking care of them, won't they?" "I hope so," Judy said quietly. "When is your Belgian family coming!" Polly asked Gerald. "I don't know," he replied.

From Newbery Honor and National Book Award–winning author Polly Horvath is this magical middle-grade novel about a garden that grants wishes. It is World War II, and Franny and her parents, Sina and Old Tom, enjoy a quiet life on a farm on Vancouver Island. Franny writes, Sina sculpts, and Old Tom tends to their many gardens—including the ancient, mysterious night garden. Their peaceful life is interrupted when their neighbor, Crying Alice, begs Sina to watch her children while she goes to visit her husband at the military base because she suspects he’s up to no good. Soon after the children move in, letters arrive from their father that suggest he's about to do something to change their lives; and appearances from a stubborn young cook, UFOs, hermits, and ghosts only make life stranger. Can the forbidden night garden that supposedly grants everyone one wish help them all out of trouble? And if so, at what cost? The Night Garden is a poignant and hilarious story from acclaimed children's author Polly Horvath.
