 | The Children of Green Knowe by L. M. Boston

|
 | A Stranger at Green Knowe by L. M. Boston
Buy new: $6.95 / Used from: $0.01 The fourth in the Green Knowe series. Many don't like this one, because the thought of a gorilla excaping and living at Green Knowe seems so alien to the setting. I enjoyed it for the development of Ping's character.
|
 | An Enemy at Green Knowe by L. M. Boston
Buy new: $6.00 / Used from: $0.01 The fifth in the Green Knowe series. Tolly and Ping come together at the house, and defend it from a vicious attack. A bit scary, but still excellent.
