Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up | Series: Green Knowe Chronicles

THIS IS A BRAND NEW RECORDING!!! L.M. Boston's thrilling and chilling tales of Green Knowe, a haunted manor deep in an overgrown garden in the English countryside, have been entertaining readers for half a century. There are three children: Toby, who rides the majestic horse Feste; his mischievous little sister, Linnet; and their brother, Alexander, who plays the flute. The children warmly welcome Tolly to Green Knowe... even though they've been dead for centuries. But that's how everything is at Green Knowe. The ancient manor hides as many stories as it does dusty old rooms. And the master of the house is great-grandmother Oldknow, whose storytelling mizes present and past with the oldest magic in the world.

About the Author

Lucy Maria Boston (1892-1990) purchased a ramshackle manor house near Cambridge, England, in 1935, which over a period of two years she lovingly restored. It is the house that inspired her, at the age of sixty-two, to take pen in hand and create the beloved Green Knowe chronicles. L.M. Boston said she wrote her books to please herself--but the pleasure of her stories extends to all who read them.

We just finished listening to the The Children of Green Knowe series... The lives of Tolly, Susan and Jacob, the Great-Grandmother and all of the others will always live in our minds. My 17 yr old and I savored L. M. Boston's writing style immensely, while the younger girls just enjoyed the development of the stories and how they interwove present and past characters. I love how the writer thought and created the stories late in life, after having purchased and moved into an old mansion! The audio is of superb quality and the reader phenomenal!

This is one of the finest series of children's books I've ever read - I am so glad I discovered it in time for my grandchildren.
