The Little White Horse

"A new-fashioned story that is as wonderful as the best fairy tales"

When orphaned young Maria Merryweather arrives at Moonacre Manor, she feels as if she's entered Paradise. Her new guardian, her uncle Sir Benjamin, is kind and funny; the Manor itself feels like home right away; and every person and animal she meets is like an old friend. But there is something incredibly sad beneath all of this beauty and comfort - a tragedy that happened years ago, shadowing Moonacre Manor and the town around it - and Maria is determined to learn about it, change it, and give her own life story a happy ending. But what can one solitary girl do?

"The theme of this story is as old as the fairy tales, and it is written with a haunting beauty of wording and atmosphere... It is a book to cherish, to read again and again and again." - The Saturday Review
