This is the third book in the English children's classic Green Knowe series written by L.M. Boston with wonderful illustrations by her son Peter Boston. These books are possibly the most imaginative series of children's books to come out of England. And the Green Knowe estate is real. I'm going to visit it in October. It's near Cambridge.
A favorite quote from The River at Greene Knowe
"What do you imagine worms would sound like?"
"Like wind through a keyhole."
