![]() Set in England’s West Country sometime in the 19th century, the book is a charming and original fairy tale by an author who was, in her day, a beloved novelist. But what can one solitary girl do? ReviewĮlizabeth Goudge’s The Little White Horse is one of my favorite children’s books. 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. 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. When orphaned young Maria Merryweather arrives at Moonacre Manor, she feels as if she’s entered Paradise. ★★★★★ The Little White Horse Add to Goodreads JanuLark_Bookwyrm Book Reviews, Treasures from the Hoard 10 ![]() The Little White Horse, by Elizabeth Goudge (review) ![]()
