Relation To 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.)

Discuss Epithetical Books The Little White Horse

I reread this book a few years ago (after J.K. Rowling spoke of it as her one childhood favorite) and loved it. I'm eager to see what they do with the movie. I haven't heard of any kids today reading it and am afraid, frankly, to give it to any. Feels a bit of its time somehow. But I love it.

Sweet, enchanting, quirky, and a little bit magical. This was a wonderful childrens classic that swept me away with its enchanted setting (and lovely writing) and had me giggling in equal parts. My only regret is that I didnt read it as a child. I would have LOVED the descriptions of moonacre manor. So beautiful!!

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.

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

Some people may have seen the film loosely based on this book, I read this aloud to my daughter, who realised she had seen the film but as it turned out the book is quite different to the film.Set in the Moonacre valley, a young girl who has recently been orphaned comes to live with her uncle who is Sir Merryweather owner of a wonderful house. When Maria is shown up to her room she discovers it has a tiny door with a tiny silver horse shoe knocker, only big enough for herself to go through. As

Seventh book of the twenty-four hour readathon. Gosh, I'm sleepy.The Little White Horse is a little fairytale, really. I remember a friend in first year recommendng it to me over and over again, so I had quite high hopes, but I don't think it's really that special. Everything is very predictable, and often slightly silly -- mistaking a lion for a dog, really? It's kind of sweet, at times, but it edges into too sweet. I'd have liked more of a sense of risk, and for things to come a bit less

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.
