Watched TV: Saw Tom's Midnight Garden


Watched TV: Saw Tom's Midnight Garden (Willard Carroll, 1999). Book by Philippa Pearce. Yawn. Cannot understand for the life of me why this thing's so successful, with a zillion adaptations and tie-in products and what not. I'm a sucker for good children's fiction, but this is simply boring. Not even the fine James Wilby + the charming Greta Scacchi + the inimitable Joan Plowright could make me enjoy it. I'd rather go CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Eoin Colfer, Philip Pullman or JK Rowling any day.
