Rediscover the classic magical adventure of the Little Wooden Horse, brought to life with the original inside illustrations from the author of Milly-Molly-Mandy, Joyce Lankester Brisley.
When Uncle Peder the toymaker falls on hard times, his little wooden horse must go out into the world to seek his fortune. But whether he’s working in a coal mine, sailing the seven seas with a band of pirates or walking the tightrope in a circus, the loyal little horse only has one wish: to return to his beloved master.
Originally published in 1938, Ursula Moray-Williams’ The Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse is her most famous story and continues to be one of the most-loved classic stories of children’s literature. With its glorious inside illustrations by Joyce Lankester Brisley and cover artwork from Catherine Rayner, this beautiful hardback edition is a truly special gift to treasure.

I liked all the adventures. Some of the story was sad and sometimes I was scared that the horse would not be ok but he was ok.
