Audio Book Children of Green Knowe
April 24, 2008
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.
A young boy arrives at an old country house in the midst of a flood and discovers that it is inhabited not only by his great-grandmother, but by a host of half-seen children–inhabitants of the manor from centuries past.
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.
