Horse Lovers, are you looking for a perfect summer read? Remember the childhood summers spent reading of magical days on Chincoteague and dreaming of riding Misty along a beach there? Many of us have grown up with the books by Marguerite Henry an influential and cherished part of childhood.
Now we have something new! Susan Friedland takes readers back to those happy thoughts as her book explores the writing world and inspirations for this beloved author. The woman behind all the enduring magic of Misty and a library of other great titles. The deep research and personal commitment to walk in the tracks and memories of Marguerite have taken us on a journey into the writer’s world.
My love of Chincoteague and Misty have been reignited! I am picturing myself in those childhood summer reading moments, now to book a trip to Chincoteague and walk in the shadows of all those wonderful books and this one too!
I highly recommend this book to equine readers and to writers!
