Beautiful, Concise Biography Of a Beloved Childhood Author

For anyone who wants to learn more about the woman who gave us such memorable equine heroes such as Misty, Sham, Black Gold and Little Bub, this is the book for you! The photographs alone, particularly of her husband Sydney and collaborator Wesley Dennis, are worth the purchase price. I was raised on Henry's stories and to this day, I still read her works; to anyone with a child, I would recommend her writing. It has a genuine, literary appeal to both parents and kids. If you are a Henry fan, or would like to know more of her and her work, this is the book to buy!

This is a biography about a great author of horse stories.

Marguerite Henry loved horses, and she wrote a number of the most memorable horse stories every written. This book tells about her life, from birth in Milwaukee to her death in 1997 in California. What I liked was learning how she wrote MISTY, KING OF THE WIND and all the other books about horses. There are lots of good tips for writers in this book too. If you want to know about a great author, fun horses and how to write better, read this book.
