Misty January 21, 2006
I bought this book for my granddaughter to read when she is able to read. I read it as a "tween" and loved it so much I was taken to Chincoteague to make the book come true by visiting the different sites that were written about.
Lovely! January 14, 2006
If you have not read Misty yet, then make sure you do! Henry and Dennis' timeless portrayal of a brother and sister and their longing for the Phantom will warm every heart.
I have an old, 1950s hardcover copy of Misty, and the words and pictures are stunning! But if you are going to buy, I strongly caution you to purchase the new hardcover edition with the origianal illustration on the front. The new paperback with the hideous new picture on the front is just not as beautiful or memorable as the old Misty portrait. It almost insults the legacy of Misty! (who was real)
No matter what picture is on the front, though, in the end I guess it is the same, unparallelled story, no matter what copy you buy.
A Great Horse Story November 21, 2005
I thought this book was great! It made me cry but it was a heart warming story! It was just as good as M. Henry's other books! If you love horses you will fall in love with book. Read It.
A Book For A Child To Fall In Love With October 3, 2005
Misty of Chincoteague came as part of the boxed set I got as a gift when I was about nine and which I cherished. Although King of the Wind was more my favorite in the series, Misty was certainly the sweetest of all the novels. Here Misty, a young golden-coated foal whose mother is Phantom, a legendary wild pony from the herds that dwell off the Maryland and Virginia coast on a number of sea islands, is adopted by a brother and sister, who love her and raise her. The siblings, who live with their grandparents on a coastal farm, have a great life that any child would envy, and the sheer magic within this book used to set my young soul into heights of imagination. I wanted a pony like Misty, of course, any kid would, and when I finished this novel, I read its sequels and then read the series all over again: it was that good. This novel, and indeed the entire collection of Mrs. Henry's books, makes an excellent gift any young lover of books or horses is sure to appreciate.
