Summary:

Inside the hedge at 55 Waverly Street is a very special, secret
place. The little boy who lived on the street loved going there and
what he did there. But a day came when he had to get bigger; that was
the rule. He got so big and so busy that the wonderful yard inside
the hedge became just a memory-until many years later, on one
strange, wonderful night. . .. An allegory for adults as well as
children, 55 Waverly Street is a simple, universal fable about
finding again the place where we do what we were made, meant, molded
to do, despite a world designed to keep us from what's imprinted on
our deepest spirits. Its simple words and marvelous, full-page
illustrations will captivate young imaginations, and its wise and
moving message will speak eloquently to adult hearts.
