Tuck Everlasting is a fantasy children's novel by Natalie Babbitt, published in 1975. The book explores the concept of immortality and the reasons why it might not be as desirable as it appears to be. It has sold over two million copies and has been called a classic of modern children's literature. It has been published as an unabridged audio book three individual times: by Listening Library/Random House in 1988 and narrated by Peter Thomas, by Recorded Books Inc. in 1993 and narrated by Barbara Caruso, and by Audio Bookshelf in 2001 and narrated by Melissa Hughes.

The plot focuses on Winnie Foster, who comes from a well-bred and straight-laced family who keep her safe behind a four- foot iron fence that surrounds their home. They are the oldest family in the town, and own the surrounding woods. When running away from her confinement and into the woods one morning, she finds a beautiful tree from which a spring of water pours, with a teenage boy - almost a young man - drinking from it. This discovery leads her to learn of the Tuck family - the boy named Jesse Tuck and the rest of his family (Mae Tuck, Angus Tuck, and his brother Miles) - who are immortal from drinking from this spring eighty-seven years earlier.
