A special book for the imaginative child, in which fantasy and realism are skillfully blended.' Booklist A book to own and read aloud and come back to over and over again. It is one of the best fantasies I have ever read.' The Horn Book 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 mixes present and past with the oldest magic in the world. Excerpted from The Children of Green Knowe by L. M.
