Who was Marguerite Henry before she was a famous author?
What was her secret for writing unforgettable books?
Why was Misty (the book and the real-life pony) so special?
Uncover the captivating backstory of Marguerite Henry, author of Misty of Chincoteague and dozens of books about animals in this heartfelt memoir, Marguerite, Misty and Me. Ride along with passionate horse lover Susan Friedland on a cross-country adventure as she delves into the hidden history of Marguerite, the beloved author and Newbery Medal winner for her 1948 title King of the Wind.
From a kayak in the waves off Chincoteague Island and an underground archive in Minnesota full of Marguerite's personal letters and original works, to a dreamlike ride aboard a Chincoteague Pony, Friedland unearths clues while forging deep connections with fellow Misty fans and those who knew Marguerite best.
Saddle up for an enchanting journey that tells the real story of Marguerite Henry's legacy and the community of horse lovers she inspired. Marguerite, Misty and Me celebrates not just Chincoteague Ponies, but horses everywhere, and the people who love them.
