Boston, L.M. 2002. The Children of Green Knowe. New York, NY: Harcourt, Inc. ISBN: 0-15-202468-9.
A lonely little boy with a grand family history leaves his dreary boarding school and travels to a new home - meeting his great-grandmother Oldknow for the first time. Toseland, or Tolly, is immediately taken in by her warm nature and delightful company, having never quite felt loved since the death of his mother. But the young lad is in for an even greater surprise! Sneaking about with giggles and games are three other children at Green Noah - Linnet, Toby, and Alexander - who slowly reveal their ghostly identities, and pets, to a very happy Tolly. In dreamlike fashion, Boston shares the daily romps of Tolly, his growing menagerie of critters, visits with caretaker Mr. Boggis, and of course, the three magical friends. This inviting story of days long ago is a treat for any reader who cherishes the love of family of friends.
