Être ou ne pas être un fantôme Tom’s Midnight Garden ou de quelques codes en littérature de jeunesse

Throughout a nostalgia-filled story, Tom’s Midnight Garden, Philippa Pearce conjures up Victorian youth literature with its grand houses and its forsaken children in beautiful gardens. The novel presents the traditional difficulty of stepping out of the nursery and growing up—an original outcome, peculiar to the development of a realist literature after the Second World War.
