Product Description
This last installment of the beloved series recounts the long-ago beginnings of Green Knowe, a time when Roger, the son of a Norman lord, was the first child to live in the grand old manor. Roger finds some ancient stones on the grounds, which magically transport him back and forth in time so he can meet and befriend Toby, Linnet, Susan, and Tolly--the future inhabitants of Green Knowe and the heroes of the five other magical books in the series.

Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
This final book in the classic Green Knowe series is actually a prequel and finds Roger, son of a Norman lord, traveling forward in time. During the construction of the family home, Green Knowe, Roger unearths two magic stones, which allow him to journey to different centuries. Capturing the enthusiasm of a boy stumbling into unexpected adventure, Simon Vance's narration is warm as Roger unifies future inhabitants of the land and uncovers a changing landscape. Vance's ability to switch between Norman and Saxon accents allows the listener to easily distinguish characters and time periods. His voice radiates the surprise and wistfulness of the characters as they realize that Green Knowe must change as time passes.

About the Author
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. That house inspired her, at the age of sixty-two, to take pen in hand to create the beloved Green Knowe series.
