Hey you all the last book to be submitted tonight, at least from really cold
Pennsylvania, and when we say cold we mean it... smile.
Stormy Misty's Foal
By Marguerite Henry
this is a replacement for the fair copy in the collection. It is excellent,
most of the spelling errors will be dialect. And it is a text file, because
the braillenote corrupted the .rtf copy... but it still has page breaks
maintained.
From the Book Jacket:
The home-place of this book is Pony Ranch on Chincoteague Island, where
the famous Misty
awaited her foal during the early days of spring. Her family-Paul and
Maureen, Grandma and
Grandpa Beebe-woke every morning with one thought: Had the night brought the
long-expected
birthing ? But while they waited, Nature struck a savage blow. A sudden
storm and flood brought
tragedy and disaster to all of Chincoteague, and focused the eyes of the
nation on this small
island.
Out of this storm Marguerite Henry brings a fresh and suspenseful story
filled with high
courage-the courage of Grandpa Beebe as he faces the loss of his beloved
herd of ponies; of
Grandma Beebe, forced to leave her home ; of Paul and Maureen anxiously
awaiting news of Misty's
safety.
Born during the havoc of the storm, Misty's foal becomes the symbol of
hope and rebirth to the
stricken islanders. How Misty and Stormy help make possible the restoration
of the pony herds and
save the traditional Pony Penning Day is a true and exciting story that will
hold its readers
spellbound.
Like all of the Marguerite Henry stories, Stormy is based upon actual
fact. Written with warm
insight and humanity, it is as unforgettable as Misty of Chincoteague, and
will take an enduring
place in Marguerite Henry's long list of favorites. In his illustrations
Wesley Dennis has caught
delicately and sharply the mood of the storm and the ponies
