When everything seems absolutely perfect and changeless and wonderful, Phillip's sister reconnects with a childhood friend and-horrors!-agrees to marry him! Not only does Phil now have serious male competition for her time, attention and affection, but he comes with a child attached-and that child is a girl! Phillip finds himself dumped at his new BIL's (rather stately, luxurious) home while the happy couple is off honeymooning, and he makes himself so disagreeable to his new step that the servants decide to take her on a trip to her aunt's, leaving Phil to stew in his own juice. The first page reminded me of the tale of the "teeny-tiny woman", in their little house with the little garden and the little maid.but it gets better. Phillip has an idyllic existence with his much older half-sister.

Within a few months, I'd turned into an E. I decided I would check out some more books from the library, and see if they were equally interesting. This reading thing was clearly a good idea. Since the Internet hadn't been invented yet, I've had to wait 44 years before getting around to it. OK, it wasn't exactly a killer insight, but I was only six if I'd been a member of GoodReads at the time, I would have posted immediately. aha! The fantasy world is his toys, and he ends up in it each night when he goes to sleep! It was terribly satisfying to have figured it out. he has a clockwork dragon in the everyday world. He's in the magic city fighting the dragon. Then a clue came up which was too obvious to miss. I remember being puzzled by the switches between the everyday world and the fantasy world, and not understanding what was going on until about a third of the way through. he has a clockwork dragon in the everyday The first real book I ever read on my own "real" in the sense of having a couple of hundred pages, not very many pictures, a plot, and some character development.
The Magic Garden only aired in local syndication, primarily in New York, but it left a lasting impression on those lucky enough to watch it.The first real book I ever read on my own "real" in the sense of having a couple of hundred pages, not very many pictures, a plot, and some character development. Carole and Paula were the kind-hearted friends every kid wanted, and their two-part harmonies and guitar accompaniment were like chicken soup for the hyperactive soul. One of the show’s most fondly remembered segments was “The Story Box.” When story time rolled around, Carole and Paula would open up an old steamer trunk and pull out props, costumes and masks to put on a staged version of a children’s story.Įvery aspect of the show revolved around the winning personalities of its hosts.

When Carole or Paula read the joke, the Patch would shake and giggle with high-pitched glee. The rest of the puppet cast included a bird named Flapper and the Chuckle Patch, a patch of daisies that delivered a new joke in each episode. The deep-voiced Sherlock was a bit of a troublemaker, but the hosts could always ply him with a bribe of peanuts, his favorite. Inside the tree lived one of the show’s puppet friends, a pink squirrel named Sherlock. The tree had a little magic of its own, dropping written messages for Carole and Paula and lowering a pair of vines on which they could swing. The garden itself was a park-like area with a large tree as its centerpiece. The Magic Garden combined folk-style children’s songs, silly jokes, dramatized stories and life lessons, all provided by co-hosts Carole and Paula. In a magic garden of stories, songs and imagination, two eternally sweet women hosted a beloved children’s program. The Magic Garden Synopsis of Saturday Morning Show
