Explanation In Favor Of Books The Little White Horse

In 1842, thirteen-year-old orphan Maria Merryweather arrives at Moonacre Manor, her family's ancestral home in an charmed village in England's West Country, and 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, that shadowing Moonacre Manor and the town around it. Maria is determined to learn about it, change it, and give her own life story a happy ending.

The enchanted valley of Moonacre is shadowed by a tragedy that happened years ago, and the memory of the Moon Princess and the mysterious little white horse. Determined to restore peace and happiness to the whole of Moonacre Valley, Maria finds herself involved with an ancient feud, and she discovers it is her destiny to end it and right the wrongs of her ancestors. Maria usually gets her own way. But what can one solitary girl do?

A new-fashioned fantasy story that is as wonderful as the best classic fairy tales.

(The 1994 mini-series "Moonacre" and 2008 movie "The Secret of Moonacre" and the are both based on this book.)

Write-Up Of Books The Little White Horse

I was glad to discover Elizabeth Goudge as an author. I'd never heard of her or read anything by her before. At the same time that I checked out "The Little White Horse", I also checked out the movie based on the book, "The Secret of Moonacre." Although some might like the movie, no one who had read the book could imagine how the screenwriters came up with the movie plot, which was so totally different as to be almost unrelated to the book, aside from the names of the characters. However, the

my older sister (nerd) gave me this book for christmas one year. i was not open enough to know how amazing it was, but when i did find out how amazing it is, i now read EVERY book she gives me. she is a genius, this book is phenomenal! so beautiful i only mourn i cannot crawl into the world created here.

This is a delightful story about a girl who has suffered a tragedy, and is preparing for the consequences to follow. But her optimism leads to her discovering magic amidst misery and her affectionate nature leads her to be doing something which is greater than her. One of the things that I loved about the book was the choice of the optimistic, bright, kind character, who definitely made the story more magical than it would actually have been. The book is vivid, dripping with rich imagery, set in

There are some beautiful aspects of this story, especially the descriptions -- nature, food, clothing -- there's a richness to them that is very appealing. And the characters were interesting, although I can't say I *loved* any of them.But the didactic elements! Man, I see why Goudge set the story in 1842 instead of a century later, when it was actually written. Over and over, the emphasis on Maria having to learn to accept and embody feminine virtues (and they are explicitly denoted as

Maria Merryweather, a thirteen-year-old is heading from London into the country, to Moonacre Manor where she is to live with her cousin, Sir Benjamin Merryweather, as she has lost her father, while her mother had died when she was younger. With her are her strict but loving governess Miss Heliotrope, and King Charles spaniel, Wiggins. Maria is sceptical of going to the country which she feels will be dull after life in London, and the way there has not been very promising. But as soon as they

I read this with my daughter (aged 11) and we used the study guide by A Mind in the Light alongside. This was a wonderful fairy tale story descriptive, fantastical, and heartwarming.
