Written in the 1970s, just when scientists were first thinking that immortality might actually be possible, was this short novel for 9+ years. In early 19th century America a pioneering family, the Tucks, do stumble on a spring with water that gives them immortality when drunk, though it take them another twenty years to realise it, and then they have to go undercover to live before their neighbours denounce them as witches etc. Eighty years later, towards the end of the 19th century, a young girl called Winnie stumbles on their secret, which leads to complications for all of them. The end of the novel takes place in the brash, ramped-up 1950s, and the Tucks are still trying to lie low. How they'd continue to manage to keep their secret in today's CCTV world is an intriguing thought. It's a very simple story, but it is so beautifully written, with such lyrical language and great sensitivity, that it is deservedly a classic of children's literature.
