The Little White Horse was my favourite childhood book. I absolutely adored it. It had a cracking plot. It was scary and romantic in parts and had a feisty heroine. - JK Rowling - The Bookseller

In 1842, thirteen-year-old orphan Maria Merryweather travels to her family's ancestral home, Moonacre Manor, to live with her uncle Sir Benjamin. She immediately feels right at home with her kind and funny uncle and meets a wonderful set of new friends. However, she quickly learns that beneath all this beauty and comfort, a past feud haunts Moonacre Manor. It's her destiny to right the wrongs of her ancestors and restore peace to Moonacre Valley.

A beautifully written fantasy story filled with magic, a Moon Princess, and a mysterious white horse. The Little White Horse and the delightful heroine, Maria Merryweather, are sure to be loved by all children.
