The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Thomas Welfare prayed every day of his life for a horse—a steed to carry him away from the life of back-breaking toil in his grandfather's mill. But if he couldn't have a horse, then he needed a friend—someone of his own age to keep him company on his adventuring about and through and over the great forest that lay around Gospels Mill.
Prayers are sometimes answered, and Lewis Mallory brought not only companionship but horses into Thomas's life. How their paths crossed makes a story as spare yet colorful as the fifteenth-century period in which it is set. And Barbara Willard has once again used the Sussex setting of her Mantlemass novels with a fine, sure hand.
