内容简介
《不老泉》讲述了温妮虽然还不到十一岁，但她不相信精灵，不相信童话，又怎会相信塔克一家的故事？——塔克、梅、杰西、迈尔斯，因为喝了林中一处的泉水，时间从此停滞不前，也就是说，他们长生不老。可这是事实！那眼泉水就在温妮家林子里的一棵白腊树下；但除了杰西，塔克一家极力阻止温妮去喝它。忧郁而悲伤的塔克告诉她：人如果只活不死，就和路边的石头没有什么两样，不能算真正地活着。只有永远十七岁的杰西，热切地希望温妮过几年就去喝那泉水，然后去找他……温妮会三缄其口。神秘黄衣人的贪婪和阴险让她明白，一旦更多人知道泉水的秘密，这个世界就毁了。当然，温妮是知道的，她可以随时去喝，也可以至死不喝，她最终会如何选择？
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 that it might seem. Complications arise when
Winnie is followed by a stranger who wants to market the spring water
for a fortune.
The
Tuck family is confronted with an agonizing situation when they
discover that a ten-year-old girl and a malicious stranger now share
their secret about a spring whose water prevents one from ever growing
older.

“Rarely
does one find a book with such prose. Flawless in both style and
structure, it is rich in imagery and punctuated with light fillips of
humor.”—The Horn Book Magazine
“Beautiful
and descriptive language is the strength of Babbitt’s fantasy about
Winnie and her encounter with the Tuck family, who cause her—and
readers—to ponder an important question: What would it be like to live
forever?”—Booklist
“Probably the best work of our best children’s novelist.”—Harper’s
“A fearsome and beautifully written book that can’t be put down or forgotten.”—The New Yorker
“Exciting and excellently written.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Natalie
Babbitt’s great skill is spinning fantasy with the lilt and sense of
timeless wisdom of the old fairy tales. . . . It lingers on, haunting
your waking hours, making you ponder.”—The Boston Globe
“With its serious intentions and light touch the story is, like the Tucks, timeless.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“This book is as shapely, crisp, sweet, and tangy as a summer-ripe pear.”—Entertainment Weekly
作者简介
A
gifted artist and writer, Natalie Babbitt’s novels are inspired by a
brilliance and imagination that is completely original. She began her
career in 1966 with the publication of a picture book, The Forty-Ninth
Magician, a collaboration with her husband, Samuel Fisher Babbitt. Her
first novel, The Search for Delicious, established her gift for writing
magical tales with a more profound meaning embedded within them.
Kneeknock Rise earned her a Newbery Honor Medal, but it is Tuck
Everlasting which has insured Babbitt’s place in the history of
children’s literature. This modern classic, which has also been made
recently into a major motion picture starring Alexis Bledel, William
Hurt, and Sissy Spacek, asks an enduring and powerful question: If we
could live forever, would we want to?
Babbitt
has written six more novels including The Eyes of the Amaryllis and
Goody Hall—each one presenting her unique vision of an enchanted world.
Her latest novel, Jack Plank Tells Tales, was published in Spring 2007.
Natalie
Babbitt lives in Providence, Rhode Island, and is a grandmother of
three. When asked what she wants readers to remember about her books,
she replied, “the questions without answers.”
