Description

Hardcover 1961 edition with dustjacket. A classic from Marguerite Henry and illustrated by Wesley Dennis.

Dustjacket in very good order, and the book itself is in near excellent order.

A 2024 review by Noelle Maxwell says: “Henry’s descriptive writing brings the story to life from page one. Everything starts with a herd of ponies at sea during a storm – following a shipwreck, they swim to the shores of Chincoteague Island, where they not only survive, but thrive. From there, readers meet siblings Paul and Maureen Beebe, two children who want a pony of their own. Sure, their grandparents round up ponies to train and sell, but it’s not the same as having their own pony.”
