Misty of Chincoteague | |
Paul and Maureen Beebe had their hearts set on owning her. They were itching to buy and tame her, and worked hard to earn the money that she would cost. But the roundup men had tried to capture her and for two years she had escaped them....
Pony Penning Day holds a surprise for everyone, for Paul not only brings in the Phantom, but her newborn colt as well. Can Paul and Maureen possibly earn enough to buy them both?
作者简介 Margureite Henry Practically all of Marguerite Henry's work, whether laid in the present or the past, are based in actual fact and are about real horses and real people. To learn about her characters and the places they live, she haunts libraries, and hopscotches across country and flies over oceans. Marguerite now lives in Ranco Santa Fe, California, where there are as many horses as people. People often ask her why she writes so much about animals, especially horses. " It's exciting to me ", she answers, "that no matter how much machinery replaces the horse, the work it can do will still be measured in horsepower... even in this space age." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

On an island off the coasts of Virginia and Maryland lives a centuries-old band of wild ponies. Among them is the most mysterious of all, Phantom, a rarely seen mare that eludes all efforts to capture her--that is, until a young boy and girl lay eyes on her and determine that they can't live without her. The frenzied roundup that follows on the next "Pony Penning Day" does indeed bring Phantom into their lives, in a way they never would have suspected. Phantom would forever be a creature of the wild. But her gentle, loyal colt Misty is another story altogether.
Marguerite Henry's Newbery Honor Book has captivated generations of boys and girls both with its thrilling descriptions of true incidents from the tiny island of Chincoteague, and its realistic yet wonderfully magical atmosphere. This story of an animal brought into captivity poignantly reveals the powerful opposing forces of humans and nature. Wesley Dennis's pen-and-ink ponies are masterfully depicted with rippling muscles, shaggy coats, and free spirits.
