Children of Green Knowe / L.M. Boston 183 p.

Toby is sent from Burma to live with his great-grandmother, Oldknow.  And that is just fine with him.  Oldknow treats him as an equal.   His curiosity is piqued by Oldknow's stories, a mixture at times of the past and present, of children who have lived there since the 17th century.  At the ancient castle of Green Knowe, he comes to see things, things that perhaps aren't real.  He comes to appreciate these relatives of his, these playmates of his in the gentle fantasy.
