The Silver Nutmeg: The Story of Anna Lavinia and Toby (New York Review Books Children's Collection)

Anna Laviniaâ€™s father wanted her to have another point of view, so what did he do? He made a peephole in the garden wall. But he couldnâ€™t have known that this new view would lead Anna Lavinia all the way to the upside-down mirror land that lies on the other side of the pond. Here Anna Lavinia meets Toby, who explains that on the other side, instead of gravity, thereâ€™s something called â€œthe tingle,â€ which feels like â€œthe tickle that comes before a sneeze, or the thrill that comes when the knot in a ribbon just begins to loosen,â€ and allows for floating and spectacular feats of tree-climbing (but mind your furniture doesnâ€™t drift away!). Toby introduces Anna Lavinia to a variety of wonders and oddballs, including an uncanny fortune-teller, a turtle with a jungle on its back, and Aunt Cornelia, whoâ€™s never quite recovered from the disappearance of a certain young man into Anna Laviniaâ€™s world a very long time ago.

The Silver Nutmeg continues the adventures begun in Beyond the Pawpaw Trees, and features loads of sense, a little nonsense, and more charming verses from Anna Laviniaâ€™s favorite book of rhymes. Best of all, fans of Palmer Brownâ€™s intricate drawings will find every page a delight for the eyes
