Descrizione
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. Now the children of Green Knowe—both alive and ghostly—are back in appealing new editions.
The spooky original illustrations have been retained, but dramatic new cover art by Brett Helquist (illustrator of A Series of Unfortunate Events) gives the books a fresh, timeless appeal for today's readers. 5-1/8 X 7-5/8.
Author Biography: LUCY MARIA BOSTON purchased a ramshackle manor house near Cambridge, England in 1935, which over a period of years she lovingly restored.
It is this house that inspired her, at the age of sixty-two, to take pen in hand and create the beloved Green Knowe series.
