No-Time-Land: A Story for Girls and Boys

Guy is a boy who cannot stop working. There is always another task, another errand, another reason to keep moving. The clock is his enemy and play is his victim. Then one night, he stumbles through the gates of No-Time-Land, a kingdom where time is hoarded like gold and no one ever rests. Here, the adults are exhausted, the children are forgotten, and the sun never stays long enough for anyone to simply be happy. Guy's journey through this strange world forces him to confront what he already knows but has been too busy to feel: that time is not something to fight against, but something to spend wisely, on the things that actually matter. Written in the early 20th century with gentle wit and genuine heart, this is a story that understands how easily childhood can slip away when we're too busy to notice it.
