krista 's review for:
The Little White Horse
by Elizabeth Goudge
I was obsessed with this book when I was 8 after discovering a neglected copy in my elementary school library. It hadn't been checked out in years, but I fell in love with it on the first read and filled the old-school paper check out slip with my name over the next couple of years. I asked and asked for my own copy, and my father was a frequent shopper at all of the used bookstores for miles around so it seemed reasonable. But it had been out of print for so long that my parents' best efforts failed until it was reprinted again in 1992. I'm pleased to see it's been reprinted several more times since.
My hot-off-the-press paperback copy will never be quite the same as the ancient, hardbound, image-less copy I read so many times, but I'm quite glad to have it so that I can go back and re-read it every so often. Prior to yesterday, I'd last read it about five years ago. I still getting something new out of it every time, in addition to the good old things I remember. It's like getting reacquainted with the best kind of old friend.
I just learned from skimming other Goodreads reviews that apparently J.K. Rowling lists it as one of her childhood favorites. Huh.
