0:32:50 > 0:32:57.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06BELL CHIMES THE HOUR
0:33:06 > 0:33:09CLOCK TICKS LOUDLY
0:33:16 > 0:33:20I'm reading Tom's Midnight Garden. What a fantastic book!
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Here's Tom.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Now, Tom's staying at his aunt and uncle's flat.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26He's lonely, he's bored
0:33:26 > 0:33:29and right now, he's lying awake in the middle of the night,
0:33:29 > 0:33:33stuck listening to the crazy old grandfather clock downstairs
0:33:33 > 0:33:36striking all the wrong hours as usual.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- CLOCK STRIKES - 11...
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- CLOCK STRIKES - 12...
0:33:40 > 0:33:45"Fancy striking midnight twice in one night," jeered Tom sleepily.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- CLOCK STRIKES - 13, proclaimed the clock
0:33:47 > 0:33:49and then stopped striking.
0:33:49 > 0:33:5113?
0:33:51 > 0:33:56Tom's mind give a jerk. Had it really struck 13?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Of course, there is no such time as 13.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Is there?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08The stillness had become an expectant one.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10The house seemed to hold its breath,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14the darkness pressed up to him, pressing him with a question.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18(Come on, Tom. The clock has struck 13
0:34:18 > 0:34:21(and what are you going to do about it?)
0:34:22 > 0:34:24I'll tell you what Tom did about it.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28He rushes downstairs and he checks the grandfather clock
0:34:28 > 0:34:29and whilst he does this,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32he opens a door he's never bothered with before.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34And why would he?
0:34:34 > 0:34:37It just leads out to a small yard full of rubbish and bins.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40But not tonight.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Tonight, that door opens into a garden,
0:34:43 > 0:34:45a huge, beautiful garden,
0:34:45 > 0:34:49the type that is full of trees to climb,
0:34:49 > 0:34:54places to explore, adventures to have around every corner.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58And now, that garden is Tom's to visit every single night,
0:34:58 > 0:35:03but only when the time is exactly right.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05OWL HOOTS
0:35:05 > 0:35:11Night after night, Tom spends hours and hours exploring the garden,
0:35:11 > 0:35:12but when he hurries back to the flat,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15it's still only a few minutes past midnight.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20One night, Tom sees a fir tree fall to the ground in a massive storm,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22but the next night the tree is standing again,
0:35:22 > 0:35:26so is time going backwards?
0:35:26 > 0:35:30And if Tom can see other people's footprints in the dew-covered grass,
0:35:30 > 0:35:34why does his own feet leave no mark at all?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Time, there's never enough of it for Tom,
0:35:40 > 0:35:44not when he wants to figure out the true secrets of the midnight garden
0:35:44 > 0:35:46before he has to go back home again.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Why not grab a few magical hours yourself?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51You could read this amazing book and, like Tom,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54you could solve the mystery of the midnight garden.
