A review by nicky_the_librarian
The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge
4.0
I came across this book because of the movie "The Secret of Moonacre" which was a nice coming of age movie without the heroine being overly feminine or tomboyish. The book was lovely. It reminded me of being a little girl reading Secret Garden for the first time. Perfect for a mother-daughter read!
That being said, I do have a couple complaints. One a child might not notice is the emphasis on quelling feminine curiosity and the importance of couples never quarreling. The second is the ending with everything tied up in a pretty bow. I realize it's a children's fantasy, but it didn't need a sugary cherry on top.
