Green Knowe is a series of six children’s novels written by Lucy M. Boston and illustrated by her son Peter Boston, published from 1954 to 1976. Based on Boston’s home at the time, The Manor in Hemingford Grey, Huntingdonshire, England, the books tell the story of the people who might have lived there in the past. Inhabited by spirits and supernatural entities, they are a children’s classic for all ages.
