Doomed to—or blessed with—eternal life after drinking from a magic spring, the Tuck family wanders about trying to live as inconspicuously and comfortably as they can. When ten-year-old Winnie Foster stumbles on their secret, the Tucks take her home and explain why living forever (at one age) is less a blessing than it might seem.
This edition features an interview conducted by educator Betsy Hearne in which Natalie Babbitt discusses the book twenty-five years after its first publication.
