Misty of chincoteague 19475/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Again, no trauma or backstabbing like a surprising number of animal stories, including children's fiction. I love Henry's versatile narration and dependable, kind characters. ![]() It's a trauma-free, good horse story mostly told through incredibly self-sufficient-by today's culture-and amicable brother and sister, Misty at one point, and an omnipotent voice at the beginning for the origin story of the Chincoteague ponies. ![]() This book comes with more than nostalgia. As an adult I had flashbacks to what I assume was a movie for this book, which I had watched with my childhood best friend once upon a time. It had seemed like any other small town save for some geographical differences between coastal Virginia and my hometown in western Colorado. I could buy a box set, but first I must reread the copies available at the library and find out how much I enjoy them as an adult.Īs a kid I never realized the book was written and took place in the 40s. They, among my Animal Arc and The Saddle Club books, were meant to be stored and never given away because I knew I would love to reread them or in the off chance later in life I have relations with a kid that liked what I liked as a kid, I could share and bond with such a kid. Growing up I had a large collection of Marguerite Henry's horse books: Misty of Chincoteague Sea Star Stormy, Misty's Foal Black Gold Justin Morgan Had a Horse Twilight and others. ![]()
