   Return to Gone-Away was written by Elizabeth Enright and was illustrated by Beth and Joe Kush. It was first published in 1961 and again in 1989. You can find this book at Barnes and Noble. It is the sequel to Gone-Away Lake.
     Portia Blake is back - and all her dreams have come true! Her family now officially owns the Villa Caprice, and now Portia is neighbors with her cousin Julian, and also with Uncle Pin and Aunt Minnehaha, the last of the residents on Gone-Away Lake.
     When the Blakes actually go in the Villa Caprice, they find it's more than they bargained for. Bead curtains, a Turkish Cozy Corner, even an attic full of treasures to explore. But when Portia and her friend Lucy find Mrs. Brace-Gideon's hidden safe, then everything gets turned upside-down!
