Illustrated by
Paul Howard.
A gentle, old-fashioned style and a series of exciting adventures make these two novels, first published in England in 1938 and 1942, perfect for reading aloud. In Horse, a brave wooden horse makes his way back to his beloved master. In Cat, a witch's kitten wants to settle down in a normal, cozy home. Williams's characters are lovable and memorable. Warm black-and-white drawings illustrate the text. [Review covers these titles: Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse and Gobbolino the Witch's Cat.]
