"A Horse's Tale: A Colonial Williamsburg Adventure"

By Susan Lubner, Illustrated by Margie Moore

A new book for children, featuring characters based on Colonial Williamsburg’s beloved dolls – Margaret the Milliner, Garrick the Gardener, Ben the Blacksmith, and the popular horses, Lancer and Mary.

When Garrick’s horse starts acting sad, the entire town of Williamsburg tries to lift his spirits. Margaret sews a counterpane for his back, and checks the horseshoes to make sure they’re not too tight. Nothing soothes Lancer – until he finds his friend Mary. Young readers will themselves find new friends in this book while also taking a tour of the Historic Area.

Susan Lubner is the coauthor of Noises at Night, which was featured on The Today Show, and the author of Ruthie Bon Bair: Do Not Go to Bed with Wringing Wet Hair. Margie Moore illustrated Bartholomew’s Blessing, Count the Ways, Little Brown Bear, and Colors of Spring. School Library Journal called her work “splendid.”
