My mother read this book to my sister and I when we were children and I can't wait to explore it again. This book should be read by children the world over. A lovely heart warming classic.x.
Rating: - Magic
Unfortunately I was encouraged to read by my parents. Unfortunately, ONLY because I learned to read quickly and missed out on the pleasures of "children's" books - I am grateful I was taught to READ. I was given, and read, "adult" books from the age of, about. 5/6. My birthday present for my 8th birthday was "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" (In English but unabridged) 'cos the Disney film had just been released. I had never read "children's" books. I only read "The Wind In The Willows" round about 1999/2000 when I was 50ish and I was amazed - what had I missed out? So I started hunting, "Railway Children"," Travels of Oggy", "Black Beauty", "Killer Cat" etc. Then I recently (2008) found this. The story, and the telling, are wonderful. This little Horse only wants to be helpful and return to Uncle Peder - I cried while reading it. And this from a complete cynic. No more to say!!!

My daughter loved this story when I read it to her at bedtime when she was 5-6 and she returns to it nostalgically from time to time though she is now nearly 11 and reading all sorts of more grown up books. This a beautiful edition I bought her as a keepsake as our old paperback was getting tatty - well worth it. Ditto Gobbolino!
Rating: - A magical return to childhood.......
I first read this book almost 25 years ago and the magic is still there. The marvelous story of the little wooden horse who wants nothing more than to return to his beloved Uncle Peder is so enchanting and heartwarming that you cannot fail to be touched by its childhood innocence. A wonderful, uplifting read.
