Once a year, on a misty autumn night, there is a pounding of hoof beats and a great white horse comes thundering over the moor in the moonlight... and other haunting and unforgettable stories.

I know that Michael Morpurgo tends to write pretty depressing novels, but this one felt especially so, until the end, at least. The first story was surprisingly tragic and the third story was also quite sad. I will admit that I wasn't particularly engrossed in any of the stories, especially not the fourth one (which I believe is called Milk for the Cat, though I can't quite remember presently).
However, the ending of the novel, with ‘Mad Miss Marney' was quite sweet actually, and I enjoyed that one, though the twist was a bit obvious and not done very interestingly. 3 stars.
