I can't remember what's in the books about Toby and friends opening Goldengreen - what's in this story seems so basic and necessary that I can't think what else was said to cover the subject. I think I remember that the book opens with Toby already in the knowe, and moving friends in - some reference to who else was living there, but no surprise at them. This story snapped into place - of _course_ this is what happened. Next time I reread the novels I'll read this in the proper place. ( )
