A cute historical horse story.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
It's 1850, and Hannah Brooks is hoping that her father, a sea captain, will give her a horse for her eleventh birthday. Instead, he decides to take her on his clipper ship to visit their relatives in England on their horse farm. Hannah is glad that she will finally get to meet her aunt, uncle, and cousins, and that she will be able to spend time with their horses. However, her stay with her relatives turns out to be quite different from what she imagined. They live in a run-down house, and Hannah is expected to help with chores. Worst of all, however, her cousin Polly is mean to Hannah, and accuses her of being a spoiled rich girl. Hannah takes comfort in riding Gwenny, an English Hackney horse that she comes to love. How will Hannah be able to part with Gwenny when it is time to return home to Boston? Young girls who enjoy horse stories or historical fiction are sure to like this book. The story is very cute, and Hannah's bond with Gwenny is very sweet. Readers who liked other books in the Treasured Horses series are also sure to enjoy A Horse for Hannah.
Wonderful!
