Return to Gone-Away (Gone-Away Lake Books (Paperback)) by Elizabeth Enright

Description: Two Newbery Honor -- winning series from the '50s and '60s get new life in Harcourt Young Classic/Odyssey dual editions. Mary GrandPre contributes new cover art for Elizabeth Enright's Gone-Away Lake (1957) and Return to Gone-Away (1961), with the original b&w interior illustrations by Beth and Joe Krush. The novels revolve around cousins who explore an apparently abandoned summer colony and discover two elderly people who have secretly returned to the homes of their youth. The storytelling reflects Enright's characteristic humor and her ability to imagine adventures that readers would long for in real life. 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).
