Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse by Ursula Moray Williams

Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse by Ursula Moray Williams

Dashing, proud and brave, Uncle Peder had never made so fine a horse before The little wooden horse loves Uncle Peder like a father and hopes never to leave him. Then the toymaker falls upon hard times, the little wooden horse must go out into the world to seek his fortune. But whether he's working in a coal mine, walking the tightrope in a circus, or gathering pirate treasure, the loyal little horse has only one thought: to return to his beloved master's side. First published in 1938, Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse is a well-loved modern children's classic.

Ursula Moray Williams (1911-) was born in Petersfield. She started writing soon after she was married and began work on Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse, perhaps her most famous work, while expecting her first child. Gobbolino the Witch's Cat followed, and the two characters were later brought together in The Further Adventures of Gobbolino and the Little Wooden Horse. Now aged 89, Ursula Moray Williams lives in Gloucestershire. Paul Howard studied at Leicester Polytechnic where he gained a first-class Honours Degree in Graphics. He has illustrated many successful children's titles, including Walker's Classic Poetry collection, and A Year in the City, winner of the Primary English Book Award. His recent picture book interpretation of The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark (Egmont), has been highly acclaimed. Paul Howard lives in Belfast.
