Synopsis:

New characters, not Tolly and his great-grandmother [owner Mrs Oldknowe, grandmother?] from books 1-2. "[A]dventures of three sensitive youngsters, Ida, whose aunt had rented the house for the summer, and two DP [Displaced Persons] children ... a Polish lad and a boy from the Orient, take the reader into the magic of the waiting river ... Fantasy and realism in exotic blend in a book which may prove a bit too sophisticatedly English for some American children." --contemporary review by Kirkus (undated online)
"Three children, all D.P.s, visit Dr. Maude Biggin, an eccentric archaeologist, in an old house on a river. Interpreting the river with their own special understandings they encounter or imagine the proper stuff of fantasy--the stag-headed men, the anchorite, the giant, the winged horses. The magic is acceptable and the atmosphere is beautiful." --capsule review by Marghanita Laski The Observer 1959-11-29 pA15
