The Little White Horse

 

The beautiful valley of Moonacre is shadowed by the memory of the Moon Princess and the mysterious little white horse. When orphaned Maria Merryweather comes to stay there, she finds herself involved with an ancient feud and is determined to restore peace and happiness to the whole of Moonacre Valley—and she usually gets her way. First published in 1946, winner of the Carnegie Medal, this enduringly popular childhood classic inspired some of today's leading children's writers.
