About this ebook

The Time Garden is the fourth book of the Tales of Magic series. In this book, Eliza, Jack, Roger, and Ann find thyme planed in an herb garden, which allows the children to travel through time (until the thyme is ripe). On one adventure they rescue their Aunt Jane, Uncle Mark and their mothers from an adventure they took as children. This gives an alternate view of one of the adventures in Magic by the Lake.
