The White Horse of Zennor: And Other Stories

The White Horse of Zennor: And Other Stories

1985 • 160 pages

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.
