“Robin of Locksley returns from the Crusades to find his people starving and oppressed by the new Sheriff of Nottingham.
Under this tyrannical regime, the slightest crime attracts the heaviest punishment, and dissent is impossible. Robin soon discovers that the only way to reason with the Sheriff is with bow and arrow – even if it means sacrificing his lands and becoming an outlaw….

A wish come true. That’s what Portia thinks when her parents buy Villa Caprice, a tumbledown Victorian house along the swampy edge of Gone-Away Lake. A new house is always full of surprises, but Porcia is completely unprepared for the extraordinary things that happen when her family moves into a new old house.
Empty for half a century, ugly as a horned toad, Villa Caprice is a mildewy, cobwebby, boarded-up, junk-cluttered museum to a way of life long forgotten. But it is also a wonderland, filled to the rafters with fifty years’ worth of treasures and secrets - small mysteries that Portia and Julian must solve to uncover the greatest secret of all…

“”"The richly expressive prose of Kenneth Grahame continues to delight. . .
full of warm colors and busy activities.”"Language Arts
When a dragon is discovered up on the Downs, the Boy is not in the least surprised.
He’s always known that cave was a dragon cave, so it seems only right for a dragon to
be living in it. The Boy decides to pay a visit to the cave, and he thinks he knows just
what to expect. But this particular dragon is not a bit like the ones in fairy tales.
Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932), Scottish-born author, was raised by his grandmother in Berkshire, England, along the banks of the Thames River. He was educated at Oxford and then worked for the Bank of England. As a pastime, he wrote light nonfiction and articles for newspapers. The Wind in the Willows (1908), originally written as letters to his son, established him as a writer of children’s books and had a deep influence on fantasy literature.”
