\"The<\/a>
The Night Gardener by The Fan Brothers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An amazing book! Captivating from beginning to end.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started to read The Night Gardener<\/a> and flip through the pages, but that was impossible. I had to read every page, I had to look at every illustration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a stunning debut novel from Eric and Terry Fan <\/a>and published by Frances Lincoln <\/a>Childrens' Publishers, who always have an eye for a new book and creative qualities. The illustrator uses a mix of ink and graphite mixed with digital techniques and the effects are a mix of traditional sketches and a misty haze of magic.<\/p>\n

The story is based on William in the village of Grimloch, as he gazes out of the window with his 1940's cap on his head, to see a commotion outside. There is a tree which has been sculpted into the shape of a wise owl. In the following days, more topiaries appear and soon William's town is full of colour and life and is changed forever.<\/p>\n

One night William followed the night gardener to the park and helped him until he fell fast asleep under a tree, he was given a very special present \u00a0of a pair of shears!<\/p>\n

Eventually the autumn came and the leaves fell off the trees and all the shapes were gone.<\/p>\n

\" But the people of the small town were never the same.\"<\/p>\n

We thoroughly recommend this book and The Fan Brothers are authors and illustrators to follow.<\/p>\n

Suggestion is to buy it now ! Use the link above or order from your library. There is so much in this book that you will come back to it forever.<\/p>\n
