pickI read The Children at Green Knowe for #ChildrensClassicRead2019 and found it so delightful and enchanting. I can't quite figure out if it's a ghost story or fantasy or a combination, but it's quite splendid and a wonderful dreamscape. It's highly imaginative and distinctive, as the best kids books should be! My edition had the third in the series, The River at Green Knowe, and it was similarly weird and wonderful. I'd love to read more by her 💚

merelybookish That's fun that the sequel is good too! I liked the first one but then felt a bit overwhelmed when I saw there were more in the series! Also, do you know what the May pick is for #classicchildrensbuddyread? I've missed the last few but would like to get back in. 5y

batsy @merelybookish Yes, this edition has the first and third instead of the second, I'm not sure why 🤔 I'm really glad I read it 🙂 May's read is The Tale of Peter Rabbit 🐰 5y
