About the Author
Lucy Maria Boston (1892-1990) purchased a ramshackle manor house near Cambridge, England, in 1935, which over a period of two years she lovingly restored. It is the house that inspired her, at the age of sixty-two, to take pen in hand and create the beloved Green Knowe chronicles. L.M. Boston said she wrote her books to please herself, but the pleasure of her stories extends to all who read them. Simon Vance is a native of Brighton, England. After graduating from the Brighton School of Music and Drama, and Leeds University, Vance embarked on a lengthy career with the BBC, in addition to narrating for the Talking Book Service of the Royal National Institute for the Blind. Later, he moved his residence and narrating career to California. His work has received five AudioFile ‘Earphone’ awards and three ‘Audie’ award nominations.
From AudioFile
Tolly returns to Green Knowe for a spring visit with his great-grandmother, Oldknow. Over the course of daytime ramblings and nighttime story sessions, present and past times of the family and the beloved house blend together. Meet Susan and Jacob, listen to the exploits of Susan's older brother, and champion the friendships that develop. Simon Vance is a practiced narrator. His intimate voice beckons the listener into this special world, which crisscrosses time, neglected parts of the house, and the green heights of backyard trees. His presentation is as mysterious, perceptive, spunky, disdainful, and loving as needed to bring life to Boston's intriguing cast.
