A review by debbieg
The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge

5.0

This is one of those books that I'd love to read again for the first time - no re-read can re-capture the magic of my first reading. Still, it's a delightful book that I love to escape into every few years or so. There's Moonacre and Silverydew, where every sensible person would give anything to live, especially if you could have Maria's absolutely wonderful tower bedroom. Yes, it's old fashioned, and there are a few rather outdated ideas about "female curiosity" and it's a bit feudal, but still... One of the things I love are the little zings of Goudge's dry sense of humour.
