About this listen

Here are books 1, 2, and 3 in L. M. Boston's thrilling and chilling tales of Green Knowe, a haunted manor deep in an overgrown garden in the English countryside, which have been entertaining audiences for half a century!

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 62, 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 or listen to them.

Narrator Simon Vance is a native of Brighton, England. After graduating from the Brighton School of Music and Drama, and Leeds University, Vance embarked on a lengthy career with the BBC, in addition to narrating for the Talking Book Service of the Royal National Institute for the Blind. Later, he moved his residence and narrating career to California. His work has received five AudioFile Earphones awards and three Audie Award nominations.

"For those willing to suspend their disbelief and read carefully, the world of Green Knowe offers a wondrous escape." (Amazon.com)

Disclaimer: I haven't listened to these myself. My 7 yo has listened to them multiple times on her iPod. She found the stories intriguing albeit a little bit scary. She's listened to the 12 hours of audio at least twice in their entirety, so I think that's a good recommendation for these books. (She did say she doesn't particularly like the third book though.)
