Return to Gone-Away

by Elizabeth Enright, Beth Krush, Joe Krush

Overview

In this sequel to Gone-Away Lake, eleven-year-old Portia and family return with cousin Julian to the site they visited the previous summer, this time to take possession of a large Victorian house, unoccupied for fifty years and full of treasures and secrets.

Summer has a magic all its own in Elizabeth Enright's beloved story about two children and their discovery of a ghostly lakeside resort. This modern classic is once again available, but now with handsome new cover art by Mary GrandPre to complement Beth and Joe Krush's original interior illustrations.

About the Author

Elizabeth Enright (1909-1968) grew up in New York in a family of artists. She spent her childhood drawing pictures and created both art and story for her first book, Kintu: A Congo Adventure, published in 1935. She later decided that she preferred writing to illustrating and went on to write many enduringly popular books, including a series about the Melendy family in The Saturdays, three other novels, and two long fairy tales, Tatsinda and Zeee. She won numerous awards, including the Newbery Medal for Thimble Summer (1938) and a Newbery Honor for Gone-Away Lake (1957).
