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. When the toymaker falls on hard times, however, 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 desire: to return to his beloved master's side.
A classic children's story from Ursula Moray Williams.

" Another great book similar to Gobbolino, books you will never tire of reading. "
" This is the first book I remember my mother reading to me as a child. Such a magical tale full of adventure suspense and happiness eventually "
" In all my reading experience I have never honestly read a book that's made me cry as much as this one. I find the whole story extremely emotive. "
" It was my first novel, i read it when i was seven years old and loved it...it made me laugh it made me cry and i have great memories of sharing it with my teacher. Perfect for a child to read. "
" One of the first books I ever read on my own and it started my love of literature. Fantastic. Enough said. "
" Sweet little book. A good classroom read. "
" this was my all time favourite book as a child and I must have it read to me and read it myself about 100 times over. there is nothing more endearing than a little wooden horse and his adventures. "
" Read this every night to my 5 year old, she loved it. Sweet story, hard work pays off and be nice to others are key themes. Written in 1937 so a lot of irritating phrases like referring to a wife as the little wife... "
" My rating is from having read it as a child. I feel sad & distressed thinking about what happened to the toy in the book....at 50+. It obviously has had a traumatic effect! "
" Can't remember details. Only read it as it was part of the series "
" The first "chapter book" I ever read. "
