Green Knowe is the new manor house that is being built by a Norman lord in 12th Century Britain. His son, Roger, finds two magical stones in the woods shaped like thrones. When he sits on the larger stone he can wish to time-travel forward in time. Roger only tries sitting on the smaller stone chair once since it brought him back to the frightening conquest by the Saxons.This is a delightful book for older children with lots of historical details. As Roger travels forward in time, he finds that he is the ancestor of the children living at Green Knowe in the future. Since industrialization is changing England, every trip to the future is a different experience. The manor house had a warm family history of sheltering the children through the centuries. Children will enjoy the adventures and magical qualities of this time-travel story, and the illustrations by Peter Boston (the author's son).
