Two enchanting classics come together in one beautifully packaged edition: The Children of Green Knowe and River at Green Knowe, both by Carnegie winner Lucy M. Boston, whose haunting stories have become modern classics that beautifully evoke all the magic and wonder of childhood. Children of Green Knowe: Tolly’s great grandmother isn’t a witch, but she and her old house, Green Knowe, hold a very special kind of magic all the same. Other children lived happily in the house centuries before, and as Tolly explores the moat, gardens and mysterious rooms, he slowly uncovers them, their toys, their animals, and their wonderful stories . . . River at Green Knowe: ‘What a lot of islands the river makes,’ said Ida. ‘We must go exploring and sail around them all.’ So begins a magical summer for Ida, Oscar and Ping, staying with Ida’s great-aunt at the ancient, river-encircled house of Green Knowe, as their canoe expedition to chart the river turns up secrets as surprising as they are mysterious. ‘An award-winning classic story of a friendship.’ LoveReading4Kids ‘Magic, mystery and fun will bring listeners along for an entertaining ride.’ Publishers Weekly
