He''s older than anyone can tell. Older than the trees. Older than anybody.

For as long as she can remember, Lucy has wanted to catch a glimpse of the mysterious green man who lives in Grandpa Will''s garden: Lob.

You have to be very special to see him; that''s what Grandpa saysLucy''s parents think Lob''s just imaginary, but Lucy knows he exists. And she can''t believe it when she finally spots Lob in the gooseberry bushes.

But Lucy''s world is about to be shattered by a terrible event. What will happen to Lob now - and will she ever see him again?

Linda Newbery, with the vivid embroidery of Pam Smy''s illustrations, has conjured a real green man right out of the woods and stories of legend.
