a comforting re-read; it's a nice story about a young girl who helps her family find a new house to live in with the advice of her imaginary horse. It's a lovely house, too, though we never get to see the inside of it, but before they get it, the old squire who owns it must be persuaded to let them have it, and winning him over and getting past the wall of his old grief, mainly through working in the garden, is the main thread of the story.

It was good, I actually knew what was happening most of the time. And it wasnt all sugar coated like the title and the front cover suggests.
