wyvernfriend 's review for:

The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge
4.0

A story set in Victorian England with an orphan who moves to her uncles house. Her uncle is a man who is deeply involved in the local myths and legends and accepts them without question. Many years ago there was a conflict between his ancestors and the ancestors of the Dark Men and this has continued to this day, legend says that there will come a moon princess who will cure this rancor and allow all the people in the area to live together in harmony.

There are moments where this is quite a fun read but there are also moments that seemed to be a little too full of "look, here, allegory". Still not a bad read and I'm glad I picked it up.
