Synopsis

Christopher often plays on his own in his garden -- until one day, he discovers a whole new world! A strange boy called September takes him on a hunt for a lost ball, meeting lots of folk along the way: the playful gooseberry boys, Mrs Bramley Apple, the strawberry families, Mr Scarecrow and many more.

Christopher learns all about the different fruits, berries and vegetables growing in his garden, and makes lots of new friends who promise to always play with him.

This heartwarming book shows Elsa Beskow's classic illustration at its best, bringing nature alive for young readers.
