The Little White Horse Elizabeth Goudge Books

found a copy of this in my attic a few years ago, and ended up giving it to a girl I babysat over the summer, so I just had to buy myself a copy. this book is such a lovely gem! some might say it's too much, but I just adore all the loving detail and reading this book is like enjoying traditional afternoon tea in a spring garden in full bloom, complete with friends and easy cheerful conversation. thank you so much for this glimpse back into my childhood!
also, the movie partly based on this book, (and aptly renamed The Secret of Moonacre) is also a dreamy lovely thing! the plot has been altered somewhat, but it doesn't ruin anything, especially since they didn't take the original name of the book. why doesn't this happen anymore in modern cinema!! it would make everything so much easier, and help loving fans see it as a different version of their favorite characters and keep it separate from the book!

The Little White Horse Elizabeth Goudge Books Reviews

This is one of my favorite books. It has a dream-like fairytale quality and a strong good vs. evil plot. I pretty much love everything about this book and wish I had known about it when I was younger - did not read it until I was 40..and have since devoured all of Elizabeth Goudge's books I can get my hands on. Her books for children are my favorite, due to the magical nature of them. Linnets and Valerians is another I love. Very beautiful.
What a wonderful story! I saw this book on the the "Customers Also Viewed" scroll, and was curious after reading JK Rowling's comment that this book was one of her favorites, I really wanted to read this book. I have to say that her comment calling this book "scary and romantic in parts and had a feisty heroine" was spot on. It wasn't until I received the book that I realized it was a tale from around 80 years ago, but a tale so charming that it would be very popular today as well.

Though the setting and language is a bit old fashioned, it wasn't difficult to lose myself in the story. The author created a setting so incredibly detailed that it leaves the reader with a definite pang of regret that the story is fiction and not someplace someone could actually visit. While there are supernatural elements included, they are no so farfetched that a reader would have to suspend belief in order to finish the story. Included with the supernatural aspect is a bit of religion, but like the supernatural it isn't so heavily written that the writer alienates anyone reading this book. Everything is so perfectly woven together that the story would have felt like something was missing if the author hadn't included parts from each.

The final outcome is full of twists and connections that most readers will be enjoyably surprised to not have figured out on their own. The end of the book wrapped things up nicely, but I did find myself wishing that this could have been an ongoing series like "Anne of Green Gables." I would have loved to have read more of the adventures of Maria and Robin and the rest of the characters in the story.
I love this book. I love the sense of mystery and magic that hangs just out of reach of the main character for most of the book. It's not like Harry Potter, the magic is not right there, but nevertheless something is going on. My 10 year old daughter and I both read it and liked it. Some of the plot hinges on aspects of Britain's de facto caste system that I don't respect, but there's so much else going on. Once you get past the description of the main character sitting in the carriage at the beginning (pay attention to Wiggins's description if hers bores you), it rolls like Jane Austen plus magic plus something murkily evil just beyond the the field of vision . . .
The Little White Horse is filled with surprises for a young reader and older ones as well.

The characters are human and animal, but in either case, they are quite real and interesting. I loved the fantasy mixed with all of the real human characteristics that plague us. It was especially fun to watch the young heroine develop from a plain, pale-faced thirteen-year-old into a vibrant young lady with a good head on her shoulders and a plan to set the world of Moonacre Manor in order.

A tale of tempers and loss, of pride and despair, of good versus evil that develops from perceived injustice and long-standing feuds. Magical elements slowly reveal themselves and gradually light the way for resolving all of these long-held grudges and disputes.

This book is thick with description that I found as enchanting as the fantasy. The stylized animal characters include a lion, a cat, a rabbit, a dog, and a hare. Each one acquires definite personality reflective of human characteristics--from enviable to a tad obnoxious, but all very recognizable.

A period piece to be read with nostalgia.
