The Little White Horse
by Elizabeth Goudge
I loved this book when I was young and just had such a strong urge to revisit it. Maria Merryweather, an orphan, goes to live with her uncle in a castle—and learns that the whole valley around it will eventually be hers. But first, she must solve a series of small mysteries and go on an adventure to remedy a centuries-old feud between her ancestor and his rival. She has a host of semi-magical animals to help her, as well as a shepherd boy who (of course) she will eventually fall in love with. Written in 1948, this book creates a similar atmosphere to The Secret Garden or The Chronicles of Narnia. Absolutely enchanting! It holds up to 12-year-old Rebecca's high opinion.
