5.0 out of 5 stars A blind girl and an ex-slave boy rescue their family., 28 April 2002
By A Customer
During his second visit to his grandmother at Green Knowe, Tolly learns that they may lose the wonderful old house due to financial troubles. Through his friendship with two ghost children from the 18th century, a blind girl and a freed slave boy, he learns where treasure is hidden which will save the beloved house. Susan and Jacob, the long-ago children, are wonderfully portrayed. Jacob, a black child from Jamaica, newly freed and brought to England by Susan's sea-captain father, in turn frees Susan, teaching her to run and play like any other child, so that her blindness is no longer a prison. In fact, she is able to hold her own in some circumstances where a sighted person is at a disadvantage. Descriptions of Tolly's learning to perceive the world as Susan does are both informative and poetic. The book is both an exciting page-turner and an insightful, profound work of literature, like all the of "Green Knowe" books. Ms. Boston does not "write down" to children, but creates a world that is comprehensible and alluring to adults and children alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOnderful novel - was The Chimneys of Green Knowe, 8 Dec 2003
By A. Craig "Amanda Craig" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This was the first Green Knowe novel I read, and it began a life-long love for Lucy M. Boston's series. Many people share it (there are actually annual pilgrimages to the real-life Fenland house)and hurrah for the publisher who brought it back into print. Tolly has returned to his grandmother and the mysterious Fen-land house, with its moat and clipped yew-trees, its statue of St. Christopher and its ghosts. This enchanted world, in which past and present mingle after one of his grandmother's stories, is under threat. It seems as if the only way they can raise money to save the house is to sell the painting of the three children who are Tolly's ghostly companions. But as Mrs. Oldknow tells Tolly more stories, each one linked to a piece of fabric on her patchwork quilt, another story, and new ghosts, emerge. This is the tale of blind Susan and the slave-boy Jacob, bought by her sea-faring father to be a companion. Each liberates the other from fear and ignorance, and when a gypsy's curse comes home to roost, Jacob saves Susan's life at tremendous risk to his own. The lost treasure of the past becomes Tolly's only hope for the future... Written in beautiful, deceptively simple prose this is a work of great passion - a passion for love, justice, imagination, kindness and beauty. The illustration, by Boston's son,are perfectly of a piece with it. It's a story that somehow takes you by surprise each time, and no child should be without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars warning - dual title, 30 Jun 2007
For those hoping for an unknown 'Green Knowe" book it's worth making it clear that this book is "The Chimneys of Green Knowe" under a new title.
