The story is set in 1842 and tells of a recently orphaned young girl who is sent to live on the estate of her cousin and guardian in the West Country of England. The estate, village, and surrounding area are shrouded in mystery and magic; the "little white horse" is in fact a unicorn. In 1842, 13-year-old Maria Merryweather is orphaned when her father dies. She is sent to Moonacre Manor in the West Country. There, she finds herself in a world beyond time. Her cousin and guardian, Sir Benjamin Merryweather, is one of the "Sun" Merryweathers, whom she falls in love with immediately, as with the "Sun" and "Moon" Merryweathers. Maria discovers an ancient mystery surrounding the estate's founding. J.K. Rowling once mentioned in an interview that The Little White Horse was her favorite childhood book, and perhaps it was this book that inspired her magical fantasy world. # This is a paperback edition, making it convenient to carry.
