Carol Collins | 15 comments Published in 1950s or 1960s. My memory (may be faulty) is that there were several books in the series. Children are sent to old relatives mansion in English countryside. Odd/ghostly things ensue. Pictures on the wall lead them into the past.

Rosa, Thank you. The series sounds like a likely match. I've requested the first book from my library to see if it is what I remember. Carol

Here's the Google Books preview of the first book in the series - The Children of Green Knowe by L.M. Boston - Rosa's suggestion:

https://books.google.com/books?id=7YV... There are different cover images.


Carol Collins | 15 comments Thanks Kris. I read some reviews and it sounds close to my memory but not quite right. But I read those books many years ago so there's a good chance my memory is hazy. As to cover art, lol, don't recall any art.


Carol Collins | 15 comments Hello, I'm not sure who is responsible for deeming a request solved, but I think Rosa correctly identified the series as The Green Knowe series. I've read one and have requested four others from my county library system. It was wonderful to revisit a much loved book. Carol


Rosa (rosaiglarsh) | 5384 comments That’s wonderful! I’m so glad I could help. Happy reading!


Carol Collins | 15 comments Rosa, Thanks again. What a treat to reread an old friend. Carol
