Publisher's Synopsis

Discover the timeless Carnegie-winning classic based on a real manor house, in a story steeped in history, magic and spirits from the past.

This deluxe 70th anniversary gift edition features a beautiful foiled jacket and inside illustrations by the author's own son.

'Are there sometimes other children here?'

Mrs Oldknow looked at him as if she would like to know everything about him before she answered.

'Yes,' she said, 'sometimes.'

Tolly has been sent to live with his great-grandmother, Mrs Oldknow, in an ancient manor house deep in the countryside. Green Knowe and its grounds are full of exciting toys, pictures and objects and there is so much to see and do. But not only that - the house is haunted! And the ghosts Toby, Alexander and Linnet all have their own stories to tell.
