The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge
5.0

How could you not like a book about characters with names like Marmaduke Scarlet and Loveday Minette? You couldn't. Character names can make or break a book for me, honestly and Goudge named her characters and places well. Moonacre? Silverydew? Fantastic. I also really enjoyed the subtle magic of the people, animals, and places and the importance that the animals played in the story in general. It's a long one, but worth it. Even the way the author writes is magical - the words and descriptions and adjectives and imagery is sublime.
