A few hours later, a heavy rain ended a long drought on the farm and made Garnett feel that the thimble was a magical amulet. Eater Eric came to Linden House and became a member of the family. He became a close friend of Linden’s children and Garnett was drawn to his adventures. With the help of its neighbors, the new barn was built and Janet’s carefully cared pig Timmy won the blue ribbon in the county. Surprise happened every day, as Garnett thought, this thimble created the magical summer, which is “silver thimble summer ”. The book won the Newberry Award for Children’s Literature 1939 gold medal, showing the United States in the 1930s and 1940s rural peaceful, quiet pastoral scenery, intoxicating, loved by the small readers.
