The story is the memoir of Mrs. Boston who purchased the house in 1939 and it is filled with "an abundance of colorful details: the comical neighbors, the neighbors who damned her as a spy, the creation of the garden; the eccentric servants, the concerts held by candlelight for pilots during the war; the friends and enemies who shared her life at the manor and the books she wrote there- all inextricably bound to the remarkable house."

This last installment of the beloved series recounts the long-ago beginnings of Green Knowe, a time when Roger, the son of a Norman lord, was the first child to live in the grand old manor. Roger finds some ancient stones on the grounds, which magically transport him back and forth in time so he can meet and befriend Toby, Linnet, Susan, and Tolly--the future inhabitants of Green Knowe and the heroes of the five other magical books in the series.
