This thought-provoking, delightful book has got to be one of the all time great fantasies for children. The writing is superb. When Winnie, a rather bored and overly protected child, becomes friends with the Tuck family, her life is changed forever. The Tucks, mother and father and two sons, have inadvertently drunk from a well which freezes them in time and gives them everlasting life. They will never change, never grow old, never die. They know that the world must never be let in on their secret, for it would change life on earth for the worse. Then there is Winnie.  Should she drink from the well now? when she grows up? ever?
