|summary=Two classic books for children in a newly-published paperback collection. Adventure, nostalgia, history and fantasy in a likeable format, perhaps best to be read aloud to older children.

I vaguely remember the ‘''Green Knowe'' books from my childhood. They were an unusual mix of adventure and fantasy with some history thrown in, written in the middle of the last century. There are six books in the series, all based in a large house called 'Green Noah' or 'Green Knowe', based on the author’s own home.
This recently re-published volume contains two of these classic books: 'The Children of Green Knowe', which is the first in the series, and 'The River at Green Knowe', the third.
