From the Publisher
The Little White Horse
"For a fleeting instant Maria thought she saw a little white horse with a flowing mane and tail, head raised, poised, halted in mid-flight, as though it had seen her and was glad."

The beautiful valley of Moonacre is shadowed by the memory of the Moon Princess and the mysterious little white horse. When Maria Merryweather comes there on a visit she finds herself involved with an ancient feud. She is determined to restore peace and happiness to the whole of Moonacre Valley. And Maria usually gets her own way* ?

"The Little White Horse was my favourite childhood book. I absolutely adored it. It had a cracking plot. It was scary and romantic in parts and had a feisty heroine." - J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, writing in The Bookseller.

Simpson "Simpsoni" (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews    I have just re- read The Little White Horse in one sitting on a beach in Tenerife. It is 25 years since I last read it and indeed had it read to me and I was immediately transported into a richly descriptive and morally fair world which I had forgotten. The warmth of the writing stayed with me and as my copy is battered I thought I would see if it is still in print and lo and behold here it is. Having read the reviews it would appear to me that the two critics who didn't like it came to the story later in life -the rest of us fans are re-reading a delight from childhood and revisiting feelings we had as children. You do have to view the words in historical context ( as you do with other writers such as Enid Blyton) but that doesn't detract from what is a great story for 8+ year old little girls who still want a bit of magic from a bygone age.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

So brilliant I've just purchased another copy for one of my English professors who hasn't read it!!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Written as a children's book it is also very appealing to adults who appriciate good writing. The book will capture the hearts and minds of little girls, involving adventure, mystery, romance and courage. This book is of an old class of writing now sadly too often missing in children's authors of today. Mothers can rest assured of a fantasy novel for there children that will capture their imagination with the gentlest grace. Elizabeth Goudge is a fantastic author and her many adult books are also a must.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 31 customer reviews...

I love this book. Refreshingly uncynical and set in beautiful places, it's like an elixir, which I can sip when feeling jaded and world-weary. Published 5 months ago by Elfreda Great for fairy-mad nine year old girl types... I've read this recently as an adult, not having read it as a child. The story is full of mysteries and makes for a good read. Read more Published 8 months ago by thegoodbook
