I’m a huge Goudge fan, but hadn’t actually read this one before. It’s odd because it’s clearly fantasy, and yet it’s also so very clearly Goudge–her voice, her descriptions, her concerns. I don’t think it’ll ever be my favorite of her younger books (Smoky House, for the record) but I did enjoy it a ...

This is at least the third time I've enjoyed this book. There is so much spirituality and sensuality in Elizabeth's writing. I've tried to read everything she's written.

Before coming across it while on a search of a unicorn book to review for Zombies vs. Unicorns week, I had never heard of A Little White Horse. I’m surprised by that now, because not only was it made into a TV mini-series in 1994 called Moonacre and a movie in 2008 called The Secret of Moonacre, but...

Her first book. Not as good as some of her later ones, but still quite spiffy. And it’s Elizabeth Goudge, which makes me happy. And the du Frocq family is absolutely charming. (September 2007)

I've been dying to read this book and it started off with great promise as we meet the characters of young Maria, her governess Miss Heliotrope, and her snooty little pet dog Wiggins. Maria has been recently orphaned by the death of her father and so they are all en-route to Moonacre Manor to live ...
