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 this house that inspired her, at the age of sixty-two, to take pen in hand and create the beloved Green Knowe series.
Back in the Knowe In The Children of Green Knowe (1955) by L.M. Boston, the first title in The Green Knowe Chronicles, Toby visits his great-grandmother's manor house, Green Knowe, for the first time and discovers her witchy ways and ghostly guests. The repackaging of the classic series contains Peter Boston's original b&w interior illustrations; Brett Helquist, known for his work in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events books, provides haunting cover art. All five titles in the series are now available in hardcover and paperback: Treasure of Green Knowe (1958); The River at Green Knowe (1959); A Stranger at Green Knowe (1961); An Enemy at Green Knowe (1964).
