An Enemy At Green Knowe [4CD]
[LL156]

Author:  Boston, L.M.
Narrator:  Simon Vance
Awards:  N/A

Ping and Tolly love spending their vacations in the ancient manor house, but this summer, things are different. Granny Oldknow's story of a mad alchemist digs up the past and brings the odd Melanie Powers knocking on the door, in search of a certain unspeakable book. Granny Oldknow, Ping, and Tolly soon find themselves defending Green Knowe from black magic. Plagues of maggots, wayward ghosts, nests of snakes--the attacks are as weird as they are relentless.

Will the three lose their beloved manor house? Or will good conquer the worst that evil has to offer?

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. It is the house that inspired her, at the age of sixty-two, to take pen in hand and create the beloved Green Knowe chronicles. L.M. Boston said she wrote her books to please herself—but the pleasure of her stories extends to all who read them.
